Any active domain name that's added in a hosting account includes a variety of records that enable it to work properly. In the general 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 specific records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (using an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), and many others. By having access to these records and by having the capacity to modify them, you can have your site with company A and your emails with company B, for illustration. This gives you more flexibility as you can choose the best provider for each of these services and you don't need to stick to one company. As soon as you choose a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely because some companies have an extra fee for this feature.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Hosting
With every Linux cloud hosting we offer you will be able to set up, erase or modify any DNS record for any Internet domain or subdomain hosted inside your account easily. The Hepsia CP we offer with the shared accounts comes with a simple and intuitive tool that will allow you to see all existing records and set up new ones with only a couple of mouse clicks. You will be able to create A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV or AAAA records, that will offer you total control over your domain addresses plus the opportunity to pick the company which will provide you with a given service. As an example, if your site is on our sophisticated cloud platform, it will take a couple of clicks to point your emails to be managed by a different provider. In contrast to other registrar and web hosting companies, we don't charge an extra fee to offer you the DNS management service.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Hosting
With our Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages, you are going to have complete control of the records of any domain or subdomain hosted within the account. Our cutting-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel includes a simple-to-use tool, which will make the creation and management of DNS records very simple even if you have little experience or you have not done such a thing before. It will require just a couple of mouse clicks to create or change any kind of record - A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, SRV, TXT. That way, you may choose the provider that you'll use for a specific service, so you can have your web site here and the e-mails with a different company or vice versa, direct your domain names 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 every semi-dedicated plan by default and at no extra cost.
