Any active domain name which is added in a hosting account includes a number of records that allow it to perform properly. In the typical case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain name is hosted and they're set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are certain records created 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 particular port number such as Voice-over-IP), and so on. With access to these records and by being in a position to edit them, you can have your web site with company A and your e-mail messages with company B, for example. This offers you more overall flexibility because you can pick the best provider for every single one of these services and you don't need to stick to a single company. Whenever you select a hosting company, you have to make sure that you have access to all DNS records freely because some providers have an additional fee for this function.

Full DNS Management in Shared Web Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with every Linux shared web hosting package we offer, offers you full access to all domains that are hosted inside the account. With simply a few mouse clicks you will be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain that you host or subdomain that you create. You could also set up or modify any type of record you want, based on what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will permit you to define an email server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, and so forth. You may also register private name servers for any domain that you have obtained through us and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain, but also for any other domain which will be hosted within the same account. The full DNS administration service is provided free of charge.
