Any active domain name which is added in a hosting account includes a variety of records that allow it to work properly. In the standard case, the name servers (NS records) show the location where the domain name is hosted and they're set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are certain records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e-mail server), SRV (using a domain name for non-website purposes on a certain port number such as Voice-over-IP), and so on. Having access to these records and by having the ability to modify them, you may have your web site with company A and your emails with company B, for example. This offers you more flexibility because you can pick the best provider for every one of these services and you don't have to stick with a single company. When you pick a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely because some providers have an additional fee for this function.
Full DNS Management in Shared Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each shared plan we offer, will provide you with full access to all domain addresses that are hosted in the account. With just several clicks you will be able to see the DNS records of any domain name which you host or subdomain which you set up. You may also create or edit any type of record that you like, based on what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will allow you to define an email server, point a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, etc. You can also register private name servers for any domain you have purchased through us and use them instead of our default ones not just for this domain, but also for any other domain which will be hosted in the same account. The full DNS management service is provided totally free of charge.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
With our semi-dedicated hosting plans, you'll have complete control over the records of every Internet domain or subdomain hosted in the account. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel features a simple-to-use tool, which will make the creation and management of DNS records quite simple even if you have little experience or you have never done such a thing before. It takes just a couple of mouse clicks to set up or change any type of record - A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV, TXT. That way, you can select the provider that you will use for a particular service, so you can have your site here and the emails with a different company or the other way around, direct your domains to other domains, create a VOIP service that runs on its own server or even multiple servers, etc. The DNS management option is available with every semi-dedicated plan by default and at no additional cost.
