Every single domain which is registered and hosted has lots of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if required. For instance, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is located; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are managed, while using an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to set up and modify particular records enables you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your current host provides stable web hosting, but has difficulties with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a certain company. Though you will be able to set up and modify these records freely and without any restrictions as you own a given domain name, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Cloud Web Hosting
The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with every cloud web hosting that we offer, offers you complete access to all domain names that are hosted in the account. With simply a few clicks you're going to be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain which you host or subdomain that you create. You may also set up or edit any sort of record that you'd like, depending on what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so forth. This will enable you to define an email server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, and so on. You can also register private name servers for each domain name that you have acquired through us and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain name, but also for any other domain that'll be hosted within the same account. The whole DNS administration service is provided free of charge.
