Every single domain that's registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if necessary. As an example, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the site is located; the MX records show where the emails are stored, while with an SRV record you can use a domain address for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to create and modify certain records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your present host provides good web hosting, but has troubles with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a particular company. Although you must be able to create and edit these records freely and with no restrictions as you own a given domain, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Web Hosting
With each and every Linux cloud web hosting we offer you can set up, erase or modify any DNS record for any domain or subdomain hosted within your account in no time. The Hepsia CP which we offer with the shared accounts comes with a simple and user-friendly tool which will allow you to see all present records and create new ones with just several mouse clicks. You are going to be able to create A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV and AAAA records, that will give you 100 % control over your domain names along with the chance to select the company that will provide you with a given service. As an example, if your site is on our leading-edge cloud platform, it will need a couple of clicks to point 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 offer you the DNS management service.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server through us, we're going to provide you with total control over all DNS records of every single 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 people with no experience, plus it comes with an in-depth help section that includes not just articles, but also detailed video tutorials. With a few clicks you can see all current records and you can set up new ones just as easily. This will permit you to use different services with different companies for a given domain because you can have separate A (web server) and MX (email server) records. Additionally, you'll be able to create AAAA, SRV, TXT or CNAME records to forward your domain or use it for a particular non-website service such as VOIP, online game server host, and so forth. If you would like, you can even set up private name servers for any of the domain names registered through our company absolutely free.
