Any active domain name that is added in a hosting account has a number of records that enable 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 particular records created through the hosting company such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e-mail server), SRV (using an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a certain port number such as Voice-over-IP), and so on. By having access to these records and by having the ability to modify them, you could have your website with company A and your e-mail messages with company B, for example. This gives you more flexibility because you can pick the best provider for every one of these services and you don't need to stick to one company. As soon as you choose a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely since some companies have an extra fee for this function.

Full DNS Management in Shared Website Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with each and every Linux shared website hosting package we offer, gives you complete access to all domains which are hosted in the account. With just several clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records for each domain name that you host or subdomain that you set up. You may also set up or modify any type of record that you would like, based upon what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will allow you to define an e-mail server, direct a domain to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, and so on. You can also register private name servers for any Internet domain that you have acquired through us and use them instead of our standard ones not only for this domain name, but also for any other domain which will be hosted within the same account. The whole DNS management service is offered free of charge.
