Any active domain which is added in a hosting account includes a variety of records that enable it to work properly. In the common case, the name servers (NS records) show the location where the domain name is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records created through the hosting company such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (using a domain address for non-website purposes on a particular port number like Voice-over-IP), etc. Having access to these records and by being able to edit them, you can have your website with company A and your e-mails with company B, for example. This gives you more independence because you can select the best provider for every one of these services and you do not have to stick with a single company. As soon as you select a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely as some companies have an extra fee for this feature.

Full DNS Management in Cloud Web Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with every single cloud web hosting that we offer, will provide you with full access to all domain addresses which are hosted within the account. With just a few mouse clicks you'll be able to see the DNS records of any domain name that you host or subdomain which you set up. You may also create or modify any kind of record that you would like, based upon what you need to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will enable you to define an email server, direct a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, etc. You may even register private name servers for each domain name that you've acquired through us and use them instead of our default ones not just for this domain, but also for any other domain that will be hosted inside the same account. The full DNS administration service is offered totally free of charge.
