Each domain that's registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created manually if necessary. As an illustration, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the site is located; the MX records reveal where the emails are managed, while with an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to set up and modify certain records enables you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your current host provides dependable web hosting, but has issues with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a particular company. Even though you can create and edit these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain name, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with each Linux hosting service we offer, provides you with full access to all domain addresses that are hosted in the account. With just a couple of mouse clicks you're going to be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name that you host or subdomain which you set up. You could also set up or modify any sort of record that you would like, based on what you need to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will allow you to define a mail server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, etc. You may also register private name servers for each domain name you have acquired through us and use them instead of our standard ones not just for this domain name, but also for any other domain that'll be hosted inside the same account. The full DNS management service is provided absolutely free of charge.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server from us, we are going to provide you with complete control over all DNS records of any domain or subdomain within your hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by people with no experience, plus it comes with an extensive help section that includes not only articles, but also thorough video tutorials. With a couple of clicks you can see all present 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 name because you can have separate A (web server) and MX (mail server) records. Additionally, you'll be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT as well as CNAME records to forward your domain name or use it for a certain non-website service such as VOIP, game server host, and so on. If you'd like, you can even set up private name servers for any one of the domain addresses registered through our company absolutely free.
