Any active domain name that's added in a hosting account includes a number of records that enable it to function properly. In the general case, the name servers (NS records) show the location where the domain name is hosted and they're set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (employing an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), etc. By having access to these records and by having the capacity to modify them, you could have your web site with company A and your e-mails with company B, for instance. This gives you more independence because you can choose the best provider for every single one of these services and you don't need to stick with only one company. As soon as you select a hosting company, you have to make sure that you have access to all DNS records freely as some companies have an additional fee for this function.

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with each cloud plan that we offer, offers you full access to all domain names which are hosted inside the account. With just several clicks you'll be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name which you host or subdomain which you create. You could also set up or edit any sort of record you want, based on what you wish to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will permit you to define a mail server, direct a domain address to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, etc. You can also register private name servers for any Internet domain that you've obtained through us and use them instead of our default ones not just for this domain name, but also for any other domain which will be hosted in the same account. The full DNS management service is provided totally free of charge.
