Any active domain name that's added in a hosting account includes a number of records that enable it to function 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 specific records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e mail server), SRV (using an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), and so on. With 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 example. This offers you more independence because you can select the best provider for each of these services and you don't need to stick to a single company. After you select a hosting company, you have to make certain that you can access all DNS records freely because some companies have an additional fee for this feature.

Full DNS Management in Cloud Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with every Linux cloud package we offer, gives you full access to all domain addresses which are hosted inside the account. With just a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records of any domain name that you host or subdomain which you set up. You could also set up or modify any sort of record that you would like, based on what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will permit you to define a mail server, direct a domain to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, etc. You may even register private name servers for every domain you have acquired through us and use them instead of our standard ones not just for this domain name, but also for any other domain that'll be hosted in the same account. The complete DNS management service is offered free of charge.
