Any active domain name that is added in a hosting account features a number of records which allow it to work properly. In the typical case, the name servers (NS records) show where the domain is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are specific records created through the hosting company like A (IP address of the website/server), MX (email server), SRV (using a domain address for non-website purposes on a certain port number like Voice-over-IP), and many others. Having access to these records and by being in a position to edit them, you could have your site with company A and your e-mails with company B, for example. This offers you more independence as you can select the best provider for each of these services and you do not have to stick to a single company. As soon as you select a hosting company, you have to make sure that you can access all DNS records freely since some providers have an extra fee for this function.

The custom records will give you a lot of flexibility and will enable you to do things such as hosting a subdomain on our servers while the main domain is hosted elsewhere or vice versa, using a third-party email service, etc. We'll never ask for any fees from you to be able to manage the DNS records of your domain addresses and the service comes standard with all shared plans.
Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you acquire a semi-dedicated server from us, we'll provide you with total control over all DNS records of any domain address or subdomain within 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 with no experience, plus it provides an in-depth help section that includes not only articles, but also comprehensive video tutorials. With a few mouse clicks you can see all current records and you can set up new ones just as easily. This will enable you to use different services with different companies for a given domain as you can have separate A (web server) and MX (email server) records. You'll be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT or CNAME records to forward your domain address or use it for a certain non-website service like VOIP, game server host, and so forth. If you would like, you may also set up private name servers for any one of the domain addresses registered through our company totally free.
