Each domain name that is registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if required. As an example, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the website 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, including a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to set up and modify specific records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for illustration, your current host provides good web hosting, but has difficulties with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a certain company. Even though you will be able to set up and edit these records freely and without any restrictions as you own a given domain name, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Shared Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with every Linux shared hosting package we offer, offers you complete access to all domain addresses which are hosted within the account. With simply a few clicks you will be able to see the DNS records of any domain which you host or subdomain which you set up. You could also create or edit any type of record you want, based on what you need to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will enable you to define an e-mail server, point a domain to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, and so forth. You may also register private name servers for each domain name that you have purchased through us and use them instead of our standard ones not just for this domain name, but also for any other domain which will be hosted within the same account. The whole DNS management service is provided free of charge.
