Each and every domain name which is registered and hosted has a lot of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if necessary. As an illustration, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record reveals 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 name for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to set up and modify particular records allows you to have different services with different providers 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 specific service from a certain company. While you will be able to create and edit these records freely and with no limits as you own a given domain name, many companies charge extra to give you this option.

Full DNS Management in Shared Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with every single Linux shared hosting package that we offer, offers you 100 % access to all domain names that are hosted within the account. With just several clicks you'll be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name you host or subdomain which you set up. You could also set up or edit any kind of record that you like, depending on what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so forth. This will allow you to define a mail server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, and so on. You may also register private name servers for every Internet domain that you've purchased 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 in the same account. The full DNS administration service is offered free of charge.
