Any active domain name which is added in a hosting account features a variety of records which allow it to perform properly. In the common 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 such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (employing an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a particular port number like Voice-over-IP), and many others. Having access to these records and by being able to edit them, you could have your website with company A and your e-mails with company B, for illustration. This offers you more independence because you can choose the best provider for each of these services and you do not have to stick to one company. After you choose a hosting company, you have to make certain that you have access to all DNS records freely as some providers have an extra fee for this feature.
Full DNS Management in Shared Website Hosting
With each and every Linux shared website hosting package we offer you are able to create, delete or change any DNS record for any domain address or subdomain hosted within your account easily. The Hepsia Control Panel we offer with the shared accounts includes a simple and user-friendly tool which will allow you to see all current records and set up new ones with simply several mouse clicks. You're going to be able to set up A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV or AAAA records, which will offer you total control over your domain addresses as well as the opportunity to choose the company that will provide you with a given service. For instance, if your website is on our state-of-the-art cloud platform, it will take a couple of clicks to direct your e-mails to be managed by a different provider. Different from other registrar and web hosting companies, we do not charge an extra fee to provide you the DNS management service.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server from our company, we're going to provide you with complete control over all DNS records of every single domain name or subdomain within your web hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia CP is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by people without experience, and it offers an extensive help section that includes not just articles, but also in-depth video tutorials. With a few clicks you can see all present records and you can create new ones just as easily. This will enable you to use different services with separate companies for a given domain name because you can have separate A (web server) and MX (email server) records. You will also be able to create AAAA, SRV, TXT and CNAME records to forward your domain address or use it for a particular non-website service including VOIP, game server host, and so on. If you'd like, you may even create private name servers for each of the domain addresses registered through our company at no extra cost.
