Any active domain name that's added in a hosting account features a number of records which allow it to function properly. In the standard case, the name servers (NS records) show where the Internet domain is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records created through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (using a domain address for non-website purposes on a particular port number like Voice-over-IP), etc. By having access to these records and by being in a position to modify them, you may have your site with company A and your emails with company B, for instance. This offers you more freedom as you can select the best provider for every one of these services and you do not have to stick with one company. After you pick a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely as some providers have an additional fee for this feature.

Full DNS Management in Web Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with every single web hosting plan that we offer, provides you with complete access to all domain names that are hosted in the account. With only a couple of clicks you will be able to see the DNS records for every domain that you host or subdomain that you set up. You could also create or modify any type of record that you'd like, based on what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will allow you to define a mail server, direct a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, and so forth. You may even register private name servers for every domain name that you have bought through us and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain name, but also for any other domain that will be hosted inside the same account. The complete DNS administration service is provided free of charge.
