Each and every 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 created manually if required. As an example, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the web site is situated; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are managed, while using an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to set up and modify certain records allows you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your current host provides good web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a specific company. Though you will be able to create and modify 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 Shared Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with each shared hosting plan that we offer, offers you 100 % access to all domains which are hosted in the account. With only a few clicks you will be able to see the DNS records for each domain you host or subdomain that you set up. You could also create or modify any kind of record that you'd like, based upon what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will enable you to define an e-mail server, point a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, and so on. You may also register private name servers for each domain that you've bought through our company and use them instead of our default ones not just for this domain, but also for any other domain that will be hosted in the same account. The whole DNS administration service is provided free of charge.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server from our company, we will provide you with complete control over all DNS records of every domain address or subdomain in your web hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by individuals without experience, and it comes with a comprehensive help section that features not just articles, but also comprehensive video tutorials. With several clicks you can see all existing records and you could create new ones just as easily. This will enable you to use different services with separate companies for a given domain name since you can have separate A (web server) and MX (e-mail server) records. You'll be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT or CNAME records to forward your domain address or use it for a particular non-website service like VOIP, game server host, etc. If you'd like, you can even create private name servers for any of the domain addresses registered through our company totally free.
