Each domain that's registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up manually if required. For instance, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is located; the MX records reveal where the emails are handled, while using an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. Being 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 issues with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a particular company. While you will be able to set up and edit these records freely and with no limits as you own a given domain, some companies charge extra to give you this option.
Full DNS Management in Shared Web Hosting
With every shared web hosting we offer you will be able to set up, erase or change any DNS record for any Internet domain or subdomain hosted inside your account effortlessly. The Hepsia Control Panel we provide with the shared accounts includes a simple and intuitive tool that will enable you to see all existing records and create new ones with only a couple of clicks. You're going to be able to create A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV and AAAA records, that will give you total control over your domains along with the possibility to select the company which will provide you with a given service. As an example, if your your web site is on our leading-edge cloud platform, it will require a couple of mouse clicks to point your emails to be managed by a different provider. Unlike other registrar and web hosting companies, we don't charge an additional fee to offer you the DNS management service.
