Any active domain name that is added in a hosting account has a variety of records that allow it to function properly. In the typical case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain name is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are particular records created through the hosting company such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (using a domain name for non-website purposes on a particular port number such as Voice-over-IP), and many others. With access to these records and by having the ability to edit them, you may have your website with company A and your emails with company B, for illustration. This gives you more flexibility as you can pick the best provider for every single one of these services and you don't have to stick with one company. Whenever you select a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely since some providers have an extra fee for this feature.

Full DNS Management in Cloud Web Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with each Linux cloud web hosting package that we offer, gives you total access to all domain addresses which are hosted within the account. With only a few clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records for each domain you host or subdomain that you set up. You can also create or modify any sort of record you want, depending on what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will allow you to define a mail server, point a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, etc. You may also register private name servers for any domain name that you have acquired through us and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain, but also for any other domain that'll be hosted in the same account. The whole DNS management service is offered totally free of charge.

Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you buy a semi-dedicated server from us, we'll provide you with full control over all DNS records of every single domain address or subdomain within your web hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by individuals without any experience, and it provides a comprehensive help section which includes not just articles, but also in-depth video tutorials. With a couple of mouse clicks you can see all existing records and you could set up new ones just as easily. This will enable you to use different services with different companies for a given domain address as you can have separate A (web server) and MX (e-mail server) records. You'll also be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT as well as CNAME records to forward your domain name or use it for a specific non-website service including VOIP, game server host, and so forth. If you'd like, you can even set up private name servers for any one of the domains registered through our company absolutely free.
