Each and every domain name that's registered and hosted has a great deal of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created by hand if needed. For instance, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the website is located; the MX records show where the emails are handled, while with an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to set up and modify specific records allows you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your current host provides dependable web hosting, but has difficulties with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a specific company. Even though you will be able to create and modify these records freely and with no restrictions as you own a given domain, many companies charge extra to give you this option.

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with each and every cloud plan we offer, gives you total access to all domain addresses that are hosted within the account. With simply a couple of mouse clicks you'll be able to see the DNS records for every domain name which you host or subdomain that you set up. You can also set up or edit any kind of record that you'd like, depending on what you need to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will permit you to define an e-mail server, direct a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, and so on. You may even register private name servers for any domain that you have acquired through us and use them instead of our default ones not only for this domain name, but also for any other domain that'll be hosted in the same account. The complete DNS administration service is provided totally free of charge.
