Every domain 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 created manually if required. As an illustration, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the site is located; the MX records show where the emails are stored, while through an SRV record you can use a domain for unconventional purposes, like a Voice-over-IP service. The ability to create and modify certain records permits you to have different services with different companies if, for instance, your current host provides good web hosting, but has problems with the email service, or you simply prefer to get a particular service from a specific company. Though you must be able to set up and modify these records freely and with no limitations as you own a given domain address, lots of companies charge extra to give you this option.

For instance, if your site is on our sophisticated cloud platform, it will require a couple of clicks to point your emails to be managed by a different provider.

Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server through us, we are going to provide you with complete control over all DNS records of any domain address or subdomain in your web hosting account. The DNS Records tool of our in-house built Hepsia CP is simple and intuitive enough to be used even by individuals without experience, and it offers an in-depth help section that features not only articles, but also comprehensive video tutorials. With several mouse clicks you can see all current records and you could set up new ones just as easily. This will enable you to use different services with separate companies for a given domain because you can have separate A (web server) and MX (e-mail server) records. Additionally, you'll be able to create AAAA, SRV, TXT and CNAME records to forward your domain address or use it for a certain non-website service including VOIP, online game server host, and many others. If you wish, you may even create private name servers for any of the domain addresses registered through our company free of charge.
