Every single domain name that's registered and hosted has quite a lot of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be set up by hand if needed. As an example, the A record of a domain is its IP address i.e. this record shows where the website is located; the MX records show where the e-mails are managed, while with an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, such as a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to set up and modify certain records allows you to have different services with different companies if, for illustration, your current host provides good web hosting, but has issues with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a specific service from a particular company. While you will be able to create and modify these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain name, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.

With every Linux shared plan that we offer you will be able to set up, erase or modify any DNS record for any domain address or subdomain hosted inside your account effortlessly. The Hepsia CP that we offer with the shared accounts has a simple and intuitive tool which will allow you to see all existing records and create new ones with only a few mouse clicks. You'll be able to set up A, MX, CNAME, TXT, SRV or AAAA records, which will provide you with complete control over your domain names plus the chance to pick the company which will provide you with a given service. As an example, if your website is on our leading-edge cloud platform, it will take a couple of mouse clicks to direct your emails to be managed by a different provider. Unlike other registrar and web hosting companies, we do not charge an extra fee to offer you the DNS management service.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server through our company, we are going to provide you with full control over all DNS records of any domain or subdomain inside your hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by people without experience, and it comes with a comprehensive help section that includes not just articles, but also thorough video tutorials. With a couple of mouse clicks you can see all present records and you can set up new ones just as easily. This will enable you to use different services with different providers for a given domain name as you can have separate A (web server) and MX (email server) records. You will also be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT as well as CNAME records to forward your domain address or use it for a specific non-website service such as VOIP, online game server host, and so forth. If you wish, you can even set up private name servers for each of the domain addresses registered through our company free of charge.
