Any time you add a domain name as hosted in some account, you usually set a pair of Name Servers to point it to that specific provider. On their end, 3 records are set up automatically when the Internet domain is added - one A record and two MX records. The former 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 manages the e-mails for that particular domain name. The website and the email hosting are generally thought to be one thing, while they are in reality two different services. Having separate records for them will enable you to have them with different companies if you wish. For instance, some new company could have fantastic uptime for your site, but you may not want to switch your e-mails from your current host and by using an A record to point the domain name to the former and MX records to have the emails with the second, you can get the best of both companies. These records are checked whenever you want to open a site or send an email - either way, the company whose name servers are used for the Internet domain is going to be contacted to retrieve the A and MX records and if you've set records different from their own, the correct web/mail server will then be contacted and you will see the needed website or your e-mail will be delivered.

Custom MX and A Records in Hosting

With a hosting plan from our company, you are going to be able to set up or change the A and MX records of your domain addresses and subdomains easily via our state-of-the-art Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Editing the default records takes two clicks and the creation of a new record requires just a few more clicks, so although you may have never dealt with such matters, you won't encounter any difficulties. We've got a comprehensive help section that'll make things even easier. If you want to switch your email provider and you have to create a number of MX records in addition to the default 2, you may choose their priority i.e. which record will handle your e-mails first when somebody sends you a message. Usually the new provider will tell you what these values should be. With our shared plans, you are going to have 100 % control of your domains and subdomains and you're going to be able to handle 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 which we offer, you are going to 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 through the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting CP and changing any record requires only a couple of mouse clicks. If you want to change your web or email hosting provider, you can edit the required record and point your domain address to the other service provider for one of the services, while you still keep using the other one through us. You may also keep the main domain name here, while you modify the A record of only one of its subdomains. If you're modifying the MX records and you need additional ones on top of the default two that we have, you can create them with ease and set a different priority for each and every one.
