Any active domain name which is added in a hosting account has a variety of records which allow it to perform properly. In the standard case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (using a domain name for non-website purposes on a specific port number such as Voice-over-IP), etc. By having access to these records and by having the ability to modify them, you may have your site with company A and your emails with company B, for example. This gives you more freedom because you can select the best provider for every one of these services and you don't have to stick with a single company. As soon as you choose a hosting company, you have to make sure that you have access to all DNS records freely since some companies have an additional fee for this feature.

Via the Hepsia hosting CP, you'll be able to access an easy-to-use tool where you can see all existing records or create new ones with no more than a few clicks. In addition to the standard A and MX records, you can create CNAME, TXT, SRV, and you can also set up private name servers for any domain which is registered through us. The custom records will give you a lot of flexibility and will enable you to do things such as hosting a subdomain on our servers while the main domain name is hosted elsewhere or the other way around, using a third-party e mail service, and so on. We are never going to ask for any fees from you to be able to manage the DNS records of your domain addresses and the service comes by default with all shared plans.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you get a semi-dedicated server from us, we'll provide you with 100 % control over all DNS records of every domain address or subdomain in your hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia CP is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by individuals without any experience, plus it offers an in-depth help section that features not just articles, but also in-depth video tutorials. With several mouse clicks you can see all current records and you could create new ones just as easily. This will permit you to use different services with different companies for a given domain name since you can have separate A (web server) and MX (email server) records. Additionally, you'll be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT or CNAME records to forward your domain name or use it for a particular non-website service like VOIP, game server host, and many others. If you'd like, you can even create private name servers for any one of the domain addresses registered through our company totally free.
