Every single domain that is 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 set up by hand if needed. As an illustration, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is situated; the MX records show where the e-mails are stored, while through an SRV record you can use a domain address for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to create and modify particular records allows you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your present host provides good web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a particular company. While you should be able to set up and modify these records freely and without any restrictions as you own a given domain address, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.

Full DNS Management in Website Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with each Linux website hosting we offer, offers you complete access to all domain addresses that are hosted in the account. With just a couple of mouse clicks you will be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name you host or subdomain which you create. You could also set up or edit any sort of record that you would like, based on what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so forth. This will permit you to define a mail server, point a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, and so forth. You can also register private name servers for any Internet domain that you have bought through us and use them instead of our standard ones not only for this domain, but also for any other domain that will be hosted inside the same account. The full DNS management service is offered free of charge.
