Every domain name that's registered and hosted has lots of DNS records - some of them are created automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if necessary. As an example, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the site is located; the MX records show where the emails are stored, while with an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. Being able to create and modify specific records enables you to have different services with different companies if, for example, your present host provides good web hosting, but has troubles with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a specific company. Although you will be able to create and modify these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain address, some companies charge extra to give you this option.

Full DNS Management in Cloud Web Hosting

The user-friendly Hepsia hosting CP, that comes with each and every cloud web hosting plan that we offer, will provide you with full access to all domains that are hosted within the account. With simply several mouse clicks you'll be able to see the DNS records of any domain name you host or subdomain which you set up. You could also create or edit any kind of record that you would like, depending on what you need to do - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV, CNAME, and so on. This will allow you to define an e-mail server, point a domain name to a VOIP or online game server provided by another company, set up forwarding, and so on. You can even register private name servers for each domain name you have obtained through our company and use them instead of our standard ones not just for this domain, but also for any other domain that will be hosted within the same account. The complete DNS administration service is provided absolutely free of charge.
