Any time you add a domain name as hosted in some account, you usually set a pair of Name Servers to direct it to that particular service provider. On their end, three records are created automatically the moment the domain is added - one A record and two MX records. The first one is a numeric address, or IP address, which “tells” the Internet domain where its website is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they reveal the server that handles the emails for that specific domain name. The website and the email hosting are generally thought to be one thing, when they're in reality two different services. Having independent records for them will permit you to have them with different providers if you wish. As an example, some new provider may have exceptional uptime for your website, but you might not want to switch your emails from your current host and by employing an A record to point the domain address to the first and MX records to have the e-mails with the second, you can get the best of both providers. These records are checked when you wish to open a website or send an e-mail - in any case, the service provider whose name servers are used for the Internet domain will be contacted to retrieve the A and MX records and if you've set records different from their own, the right web/mail server will then be contacted and you're going to see the needed website or your email will be delivered.

Custom MX and A Records in Shared Web Hosting

With a shared web hosting plan from our company, you will be able to set up or modify the A and MX records of your domain names and subdomains effortlessly by using our innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Editing the default records requires two clicks and the setup of a new record takes only a couple of more clicks, so in case you have never dealt with such matters, you'll not encounter any difficulties. We've got a comprehensive help section that'll make things even easier. If you wish to switch your email provider and you have to create a number of MX records in addition to the default 2, you can select their priority i.e. which record will manage your emails first when somebody sends you a message. Normally the new provider will tell you what these values should be. With our shared plans, you're going to have total control of your domain addresses and subdomains and you're going to be able to manage their A and MX records very easily and at any time.

Custom MX and A Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With the Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we offer, you are going to have full control over the records of all domain names and subdomains that you add in your hosting account. You can easily check what A and MX records each of them has via the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and editing any record requires just a few mouse clicks. If you decide to change your web or email hosting provider, you can edit the required record and direct your domain to the other service provider for one of the services, while you still keep using the other one through us. Also you can keep the main domain address 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 2 we have, you can create them with ease and set a different priority for every one.
