Any active domain name that is added in a hosting account has a number of records that allow it to work properly. In the common case, the name servers (NS records) show the location where the Internet domain is hosted and they are set on the side of the registrar company, but on the lower level there are particular records set through the hosting company such as A (IP address of the website/server), MX (e-mail server), SRV (using an Internet domain for non-website purposes on a specific port number such as Voice-over-IP), etc. Having access to these records and by being in a position to edit them, you can have your site with company A and your e-mails with company B, for instance. This gives you more independence as you can choose the best provider for each of these services and you don't need to stick to a single company. Whenever you select a hosting company, you have to make certain that you have access to all DNS records freely since some providers have an additional fee for this function.

Full DNS Management in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server through us, we will provide you with complete control over all DNS records of every domain name or subdomain inside your web 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 provides a comprehensive help section that features not just articles, but also thorough video tutorials. With several clicks you can see all current records and you can set up new ones just as easily. This will permit you to use different services with separate companies for a given domain address because you can have separate A (web server) and MX (email server) records. You'll also be able to set up AAAA, SRV, TXT and CNAME records to forward your domain address or use it for a particular non-website service such as VOIP, game server host, and so on. If you want, you may even create private name servers for any of the domain addresses registered through our company at no extra cost.
