Any active domain that is added in a hosting account has a number of records that permit it to function properly. In the common case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain name is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are particular records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (using a domain name for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), and so on. By having access to these records and by having the ability to modify them, you could have your web site with company A and your emails with company B, for illustration. This offers you more overall flexibility since you can choose the best provider for every single one of these services and you don't have to stick with one company. After you select a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely since some providers have an additional fee for this function.

Full DNS Management in Shared Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with every single shared hosting we offer, offers you full access to all domains that are hosted inside the account. With just a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to see the DNS records for each and every domain name you host or subdomain that you create. You could also set up or modify any kind of record that you would like, based upon what you would like to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, etc. This will allow you to define a mail server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, create forwarding, etc. You can even register private name servers for each domain name that you've purchased through us and use them instead of our standard ones not only 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.
