Each domain which is registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be created manually if required. As an example, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is situated; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are managed, while through an SRV record you can use a domain address for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify specific records allows you to have different services with different companies if, for illustration, your present host provides stable web hosting, but has issues with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. While you should be able to create and modify these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain address, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with every single Linux cloud hosting we offer, offers you complete access to all domain names which are hosted in the account. With simply a couple of mouse clicks you will be able to see the DNS records for each domain that you host or subdomain which you set up. You can also create or edit any sort of record that you like, based upon what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will permit you to define an e-mail server, direct a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, etc. You can even register private name servers for any domain you have bought through our company and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain name, but also for any other domain which will be hosted in the same account. The complete DNS administration service is provided totally free of charge.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
You will have 100 % control over the DNS records of your domains and subdomains if you order any one of our semi-dedicated server plans. The accounts are handled through our custom Hepsia CP and one of its features is an innovative, albeit very easy to use section where you could see, set up or modify any kind of record - A, MX, CNAME, NS, AAAA, TXT and SRV. There isn't any fee for that and you are going to have absolute freedom with regard to managing your domain names and choosing the best service for them. For instance, with only a couple of clicks you can set up each of the domain addresses within your account to have its site handled by one company and its e-mails by another, you can even use a domain as a host name for a VOIP server, which runs on a separate machine. You could also create and use private name servers so that you can give your domains more credibility in case somebody checks them.
