您想在您的網(wǎng)站域上使用Hotmail，Office Web Apps，Messenger等嗎？ 這是將Windows Live免費添加到您的網(wǎng)站的方法。

Microsoft offers a popular suite of online communications products including Hotmail and Messenger.  Although Hotmail hasn’t been as popular in recent years as Gmail, it is getting a refresh this summer that might make it an even better email solution.  Additionally, the new Office Web Apps offer great compatibility with Office documents. While Skydrive offers 25Gb of free online file storage for all users, so Windows Live can make a great communications solution for your domain.

Microsoft提供了一套流行的在線通訊產(chǎn)品套件，包括Hotmail和Messenger。 盡管Hotmail近年來沒有Gmail那樣受歡迎，但它在今年夏天得到了刷新，這可能使其成為更好的電子郵件解決方案。 此外，新的Office Web Apps還提供與Office文檔的出色兼容性。 盡管Skydrive為所有用戶提供25Gb的免費在線文件存儲，但是Windows Live可以為您的域提供出色的通信解決方案。

Note:To signup for Windows Live for your domain, you will need to be able to add info to your WordPress.com blog or change Domain settings manually.

注意：要為您的域注冊Windows Live，您將需要能夠將信息添加到WordPress.com博客或手動更改域設置。

Getting Started

入門

Open the Windows Live Custom Domains page (Link below) to get started adding Windows Live to your domain.  Your free Windows Live account will let you create up to 500 accounts, so it’s great for teams and groups that want to have customized email addresses in addition to those who just want an email account for their website.

打開Windows Live自定義域頁面(下面的鏈接)，開始將Windows Live添加到您的域中。 您的免費Windows Live帳戶最多可以創(chuàng)建500個帳戶，因此，除了只希望為其網(wǎng)站提供電子郵件帳戶的團隊和小組之外，這對于希望擁有自定義電子郵件地址的團隊和小組來說非常有用。

Enter your domain or subdomain you want to add to Windows Live in the box, and then select whether you want to setup Hotmail with this or now.  We want to add email to our domain, so select Set up Windows Live Hotmail for my domainand click Continue.

在框中輸入要添加到Windows Live的域或子域，然后選擇是否要使用此或現(xiàn)在設置Hotmail。 我們希望將電子郵件添加到我們的域中，因此選擇為我的域設置Windows Live Hotmail，然后點擊繼續(xù)。

You’ll need to sign in with a Windows Live ID to create the account, or choose to create a new Windows Live account associated with your domain.

您需要使用Windows Live ID登錄才能創(chuàng)建帳戶，或選擇創(chuàng)建與您的域關聯(lián)的新Windows Live帳戶。

Sign in with your Windows Live ID…this can be a Hotmail, Live Messenger, XBOX Live, Zune ID, or Microsoft.com account.

使用Windows Live ID登錄……這可以是Hotmail，Live Messenger，XBOX Live，Zune ID或Microsoft.com帳戶。

Or, enter your information to create a new Windows Live ID if you selected the second option.

或者，如果您選擇了第二個選項，則輸入您的信息以創(chuàng)建一個新的Windows Live ID。

Now, review your settings and make sure everything looks correct.  Click the I Accept button to setup your account.

現(xiàn)在，檢查您的設置，并確保一切看起來正確。 點擊我接受按鈕來設置您的帳戶。

Your account is now fully setup, but you’ll need to add or edit DNS information on your site.  The steps are slightly different depending if your site is hosted on WordPress.com, on your own server, or hosting service. We’ll show you how to do it on either one.

您的帳戶現(xiàn)已完全設置，但是您需要在網(wǎng)站上添加或編輯DNS信息。 根據(jù)您的網(wǎng)站托管在WordPress.com，您自己的服務器還是托管服務上，步驟略有不同。 我們將向您展示如何在任一方法上進行操作。

First, though, note the information below this box.  You’ll see settings for your Mail setup…

但是，首先請注意此框下方的信息。 您會看到郵件設置的設置…

Security settings…

在此頁面上的文本框中，輸入以下內(nèi)容，用Windows Live儀表板中“郵件設置”框中的代碼替換Your_info。 請注意，這是我們截圖中的模糊部分。 它應該是一個數(shù)字代碼，例如1234567890.pamx1.hotmail.com。

Integrate Windows Live with Your Own Server

將Windows Live與您自己的服務器集成

If your website is hosted on your own server or hosting account, you’ll need to take a few more steps to add Windows Live to your domain.  This is fairly easy, but the steps may be different depending on your hosting company or registrar.  With some hosts, you may have to contact support to have them add the MX records for you.  Our site’s host uses the popular cPanel for website administration, so here’s how we added the MX Entries through cPanel.

如果您的網(wǎng)站托管在您自己的服務器或托管帳戶上，則您需要采取一些其他步驟將Windows Live添加到您的域中。 這相當容易，但是步驟可能會有所不同，具體取決于您的托管公司或注冊商。 對于某些主機，您可能必須與支持人員聯(lián)系以使他們?yōu)槟砑覯X記錄。 我們網(wǎng)站的主機使用流行的cPanel進行網(wǎng)站管理，因此這是我們通過cPanel添加MX條目的方式。

Login to your website’s cPanel, and select MX Entry under the Mailsection.

登錄到您網(wǎng)站的cPanel，然后在“郵件”部分下選擇“ MX條目”。

In the text box on this page, enter the following, replacing Your_infowith your code from the Mail Setup box in your Windows Live Dashboard.  Note that this is the blurred section in our screenshots.  It should be a numerical code like 1234567890.pamx1.hotmail.com.

在此頁面上的文本框中，輸入以下內(nèi)容，用Windows Live儀表板中“郵件設置”框中的代碼替換Your_info。 請注意，這是我們截圖中的模糊部分。 它應該是一個數(shù)字代碼，例如1234567890.pamx1.hotmail.com。

Now, go back to your cPanel home, and select Advanced DNS Zone Editorunder Domains.

現(xiàn)在，返回到cPanel主頁，然后在“域”下選擇“高級DNS區(qū)域編輯器”。

Here, add a TXT record with the following info:

在這里，添加帶有以下信息的TXT記錄：

Name:yoursite.com.

TTL:3600

TXT Data:v=spf1 include:hotmail.com ~all

名稱：yoursite.com。

TTL：3600

TXT數(shù)據(jù)：v = spf1 include：hotmail.com?all

Click Add Record and your Mail integration data is all configured.

單擊添加記錄，您的郵件集成數(shù)據(jù)已全部配置。

To integrate Messenger with your own domain, you’ll have to add an SRV entry to your DNS settings.  cPanel doesn’t have an option for this, so we had to contact our site’s hosting company and they added the entry for us.  Copy all of the information in the Messenger box and send it to your domain support, and they should be able to add this for you.  Alternately, if you don’t want or need Messenger, then you can simply skip this step.

要將Messenger與您自己的域集成，您必須在DNS設置中添加SRV條目。 cPanel對此沒有選擇，因此我們不得不聯(lián)系我們網(wǎng)站的托管公司，他們?yōu)槲覀兲砑恿藯l目。 復制Messenger框中的所有信息，并將其發(fā)送給您的域支持，他們應該可以為您添加此信息。 或者，如果您不需要Messenger，則可以跳過此步驟。

Once all of your settings are in place, return to your Windows Live Settings page and click Refresh.  If your settings are correct, you’ll now be ready to use Windows Live on your WordPress.com domain.

完成所有設置后，返回“ Windows Live設置”頁面，然后單擊“刷新”。 如果設置正確，您現(xiàn)在就可以在WordPress.com域上使用Windows Live。
