Each domain name which is registered and hosted has lots of DNS records - some of them are set up automatically when you host a domain, others can be created manually if needed. As an example, the A record of a domain name is its IP address i.e. this record reveals where the web site is situated; the MX records show where the emails are managed, while using an SRV record you can use a domain name for unconventional purposes, for instance a Voice-over-IP service. To be able to set up and modify specific records enables you to have different services with different providers if, for example, your present host provides good web hosting, but has troubles with the e-mail service, or you simply prefer to get a certain service from a certain company. Even though you can create and modify these records freely and without any limits as you own a given domain, a lot of companies charge extra to give you this option.

Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server from us, we're going to provide you with 100 % control over all DNS records of any domain or subdomain in 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 any experience, plus it offers an in-depth help section which includes not only articles, but also in-depth video tutorials.

This will allow you to use different services with separate providers for a given domain address since you can have separate A (web server) and MX (mail server) records. You will also be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT and CNAME records to forward your domain or use it for a particular non-website service including VOIP, game server host, and many others. If you'd like, you may also create private name servers for any of the domains registered through our company at no extra cost.
