Every single domain which is registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if required. For instance, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the site is located; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are handled, while with an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, including a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to create and modify specific 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 certain service from a certain company. Even though you must be able to set up and modify these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain address, some companies charge extra to give you this option.

Full DNS Management in Cloud Web Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each cloud web hosting we offer, offers you complete access to all domains that are hosted inside the account. With only a couple of clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name that you host or subdomain which you set up. You can also create or modify any sort of record that you would like, based upon what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will permit you to define a mail server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, etc. You can even register private name servers for every domain name that you've bought 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 within the same account. The whole DNS administration service is provided totally free of charge.
