Every single domain name that's registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if required. As an illustration, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is located; the MX records show where the emails are managed, while with an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify specific records permits you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your present host provides stable web hosting, but has problems with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a specific company. While you will be able to create and edit these records freely and without any limitations as you own a given domain, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Website Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with each cloud website hosting that we offer, offers you total access to all domain names which are hosted inside the account. With simply a few clicks you'll be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name which you host or subdomain which you create. You could also set up or modify any type of record you want, based on what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so forth. This will permit you to define an e-mail server, point a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, etc. You may also register private name servers for each domain name that 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 will be hosted inside the same account. The full DNS administration service is provided free of charge.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
With our Linux semi-dedicated plans, you're going to have 100 % control over the records of any domain or subdomain hosted in the account. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting CP includes a simple-to-use tool, which will make the creation and control over DNS records quite simple even if you have little experience or you have not done such a thing before. It will take just a few mouse clicks to create or change any sort of record - A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV, TXT. This way, you can pick the provider you'll use for a given service, so you can have your web site here and the emails with a different provider or vice versa, forward your Internet domains to other domains, set up a VOIP service that runs on its own server or even multiple servers, and so on. The DNS management option is offered with each semi-dedicated plan by default and at no extra cost.
