Every domain name 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 manually if required. As an example, the A record of a domain address is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the web site is situated; the MX records reveal where the e-mails are handled, while through an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to create and modify certain records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for instance, your current host provides stable web hosting, but has troubles with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a particular company. Although you should be able to set up and edit these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain name, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.

Full DNS Management in Cloud Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with each Linux cloud hosting package we offer, will provide you with full access to all domain names which are hosted within the account. With simply several clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records for each 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 need to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so forth. This will permit you to define an email server, point 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 any domain name that you've obtained through our company and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain name, but also for any other domain which will be hosted inside the same account. The whole DNS management service is offered totally free of charge.
