Each registered domain has at least 2 Name Server records which show where it is hosted i.e. by using these records you direct your domain address to the servers of a specific website hosting company. That way, you have got both your website and your emails handled by the exact same provider. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), on the other hand, there is a variety of other records, for instance A and MX. The former reveals which server deals with the site for a given domain address and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter shows which server deals with the emails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For example, when you type a domain in your Internet browser, your request is forwarded through the global DNS system to the company whose NS records the domain name uses and from there you may be sent to the servers of another company if you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your domain. Having independent records for the site and the emails means that you could have your site and your emails with 2 different providers if you'd like.

Custom MX and A Records in Cloud Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every Linux cloud hosting which we offer, will permit you to see, change and set up A and MX records for every domain name or subdomain in your account. Through the DNS Records section, you're going to be able to view a list of all hosts within the account from a to z with their related records, so any update won't take you more than a few clicks. Creating new records is just as simple if, as an illustration, you want to use the email services of another provider and they ask you to set up more MX records than the default two. You may also set the priority for each MX record by setting different latency. To put it differently, when your emails are delivered, the sending server is going to contact the record with the smallest latency first and if the connection times out, it will contact the next one. Through our innovative tool, you'll be able to handle the records of your domain names and subdomains with ease even if you have no previous experience with such matters.

Custom MX and A Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

With the semi-dedicated hosting service we provide, you are going to have total control over the records of all domain addresses and subdomains that you add in your hosting account. You can easily check what A and MX records each of them has using the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting CP and editing any record takes only a couple of clicks. If you choose to change your web or e-mail hosting provider, you can update the required record and point your domain address to the other service provider for one of the services, while you still carry on using the other one through us. You can also keep the main domain here, while you edit the A record of only one of its subdomains. If you're editing the MX records and you need additional ones on top of the standard two that we have, you could create them with ease and set a different priority for each one.
