Any active domain name that is added in a hosting account includes a variety of records that enable it to perform properly. In the typical case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain name is hosted and they're set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are certain records set through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e-mail server), SRV (employing a domain name for non-website purposes on a specific port number like Voice-over-IP), and many others. With access to these records and by being able to modify them, you can have your website with company A and your emails with company B, for example. This gives you more freedom as you can select the best provider for each of these services and you don't need to stick to only one company. When you choose a hosting company, you have to make certain that you have access to all DNS records freely because some companies have an extra fee for this feature.

Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers

The semi-dedicated plans are controlled through our in-house designed Hepsia hosting Control Panel and one of its features is an easy-to-use DNS records tool where you can see all current records for each domain address or subdomain you host within the account. With just a couple of clicks you will be able to change any existing record or create a new one when you need it for any purpose. This will enable you to select the provider for each individual service - as an illustration, for a given Internet domain you could have the website here, the emails through a second company plus a VOIP service that employs the same domain as a host through a third one. Our system allows you to modify or set up any sort of records you need - NS, A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV, AAAA, etc., and we will never ask for any fee to be able to access and manage these records as other companies may do.
