Whenever you add a domain name as hosted in some account, you normally set a pair of Name Servers to direct it to that specific service provider. On their end, three records are created automatically right after the Internet domain is added - one A record and two MX records. The former is a numeric address, or IP address, which “tells” the domain name where its site is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they indicate the server that deals with the e-mails for that specific domain name. The website and the e-mail hosting are typically thought to be one thing, while they're in reality two different services. Having different records for them will allow you to have them with different companies if you want. For instance, some new service provider can have exceptional uptime for your site, but you might not want to switch your e-mail messages from your current host and by employing an A record to point the domain name to the first and MX records to have the e-mails with the second, you will get the best of both companies. These records are checked whenever you want to open a website or send an email - in any case, the company whose name servers are used for the Internet domain will 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 website or your email will be delivered.
Custom MX and A Records in Shared Website Hosting
With a shared website hosting package from our company, you'll be able to create or change the A and MX records of your domain addresses and subdomains effortlessly via our sophisticated Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Modifying the default records takes 2 clicks and the setup of a new record requires just a couple of more clicks, so even if you have never dealt with such matters, you will not encounter any difficulties. We also have a comprehensive help section that'll make things even easier. If you wish to change your email provider and you have to set up a number of MX records in addition to the default 2, you may choose their priority i.e. which record is going to handle your e-mails first when someone sends you a message. Usually the new provider will tell you what these values need to be. With our shared plans, you're going to have complete control over your domain names and subdomains and you'll be able to manage their A and MX records 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're going to have complete 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 via the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting CP and changing any record requires only a few clicks. If you decide to change your web or e-mail hosting provider, you can update the necessary record and direct your domain name to the other company for one of the services, while you still continue using the other one through us. You may 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 2 that we have, you can create them with ease and set a different priority for each and every one.
