Whenever you add a domain as hosted in some account, you normally set a pair of Name Servers to point it to that specific company. On their end, 3 records are set up automatically as soon as the domain is added - one A record and two MX records. The former is a numeric address, or IP address, which “tells” the domain where its site is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they show the server that deals with the emails for that particular Internet domain. The website and the email hosting are generally regarded as one thing, when they are in fact two different services. Having separate records for them will enable you to have them with different companies if you want. As an example, some new provider could have superb uptime for your website, but you may not want to switch your e-mails from your current host and by employing an A record to point the Internet domain 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 company whose name servers are used for the domain is going to be contacted to retrieve the A and MX records and if you have set records different from their own, the right web/mail server will then be contacted and you're going to see the needed site or your email is going to be delivered.

Custom MX and A Records in Shared Web Hosting

If you have a shared web hosting service through us, you are going to be able to see, create and change any A or MX record for your domains. Provided that a particular Internet domain has our Name Servers, you are going to be able to to modify particular records by using our Hepsia hosting Control Panel and have your website or emails directed to another service provider if you want to use only one of our services. Our state-of-the-art tool will permit you to have a domain address hosted here and a subdomain below it to be hosted elsewhere by changing only its A record - this will not affect the main domain address at all. If you want to use the e-mail services of a different provider and they want you to set up more than 2 MX records, you can easily do this with only a few clicks within the DNS Records section of your Control Panel. You can also set different latency for every single MX record i.e. which one is going to have priority.

Custom MX and A Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

With the semi-dedicated service which we offer, you'll have 100 % control over the records of all domain addresses and subdomains you add in your hosting account. You can easily check what A and MX records every one of them has from the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and changing any record takes simply a few clicks. If you want to switch your web or e-mail hosting provider, you can edit the required record and direct your domain to the other company for one of the services, while you still keep using the other one through us. You could also keep the main domain name here, while you change the A record of only one of its subdomains. When you're changing the MX records and you need additional ones on top of the default 2 we have, you can create them with ease and set a different priority for every one.
