Any active domain name which is added in a hosting account features a number of records that permit it to function properly. In the typical case, the name servers (NS records) show the location where the domain 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 like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (employing a domain for non-website purposes on a particular port number like Voice-over-IP), etc. With access to these records and by having the ability to modify them, you could have your web site with company A and your e-mail messages with company B, for instance. This offers you more flexibility because you can pick the best provider for every one of these services and you don't need to stick to a single company. As soon as you select a hosting company, you have to make certain that you have access to all DNS records freely as some companies have an additional fee for this feature.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with every single Linux cloud hosting package that we offer, will provide you with 100 % access to all domains that are hosted in the account. With only a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records for every domain name that you host or subdomain which you set up. You can also set up or edit any kind of record that you'd like, based upon what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will enable you to define a 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 that you've acquired through us and use them instead of our standard ones not only for this domain, but also for any other domain which will be hosted in the same account. The full DNS administration service is provided free of charge.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The Linux semi-dedicated packages are controlled through our in-house created Hepsia hosting CP and one of its features is an easy-to-use DNS records tool where you can see all current records for any domain name or subdomain which you host inside the account. With only a few clicks you are going to be able to change any existing record as well as to create a new one if you need it for any purpose. This will permit you to choose the provider for each individual service - as an illustration, for a given domain address you could have the site here, the emails through a second provider as well as a VOIP service that uses the same domain as a host through a third one. Our system allows you to change or create any kind of records you need - NS, A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV, AAAA, and so on., and we will never ask you for any fee to be able to access and manage these records as other companies may do.
