Any time you add a domain as hosted in some account, you normally set a pair of Name Servers to point it to that specific service provider. On their end, 3 records are created automatically when the domain address is added - one A record and two MX records. The first one is a numeric address, or IP address, which “tells” the domain address where its website is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they show the server that handles the emails for that specific domain. The website and the e-mail hosting are generally regarded as one thing, when they are in reality two different services. Having independent records for them will enable you to have them with different companies if you would like. For example, some new service provider can have superb uptime for your site, but you might not want to switch your e-mail messages from your current host and by using an A record to point the Internet domain to the former 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 site or send an email - in any case, the provider whose name servers are used for the domain address will be contacted to retrieve the A and MX records and if you have set records different from their own, the correct 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 Web Hosting

With a web hosting plan from our company, you'll be able to set up or change the A and MX records of your domain names and subdomains effortlessly by using our leading-edge Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Modifying the default records takes 2 clicks and the setup of a new record takes only a few more clicks, so in case you have never dealt with such matters, you'll not experience any problems. We have an extensive 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 two, you can select their priority i.e. which record is going to manage your emails first when somebody sends you a message. Usually the new provider is going to tell you what these values need to be. With our shared plans, you are going to have total control of your domain addresses and subdomains and you'll be able to handle 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 which we provide, you are going to have total control over the records of all domain names and subdomains you add in your hosting account. You can easily check what A and MX records each of them has using the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and editing any record takes as little as a couple of mouse clicks. If you want to switch your web or email hosting provider, you can edit the required record and point your domain name to the other service provider for one of the services, while you still keep using the other one through us. You can also keep the main domain here, while you change the A record of only one of its subdomains. If you are changing the MX records and you need additional ones on top of the standard 2 that we have, you could create them with ease and set a different priority for each and every one.
