Each registered domain name has no less than two Name Server records which show where it is hosted i.e. by using these records you point your Internet domain to the servers of a specific hosting provider. This way, you have got both your site and your emails managed by the very same company. On the lower level of the Domain Name System (DNS), nevertheless, there are a number of other records, for example A and MX. The first one reveals which server deals with the website for a given Internet domain and is always an IP address (123.123.123.123), while the latter shows which server handles the e-mails and is always an alphanumeric string (mx1.domain.com). For instance, any time you type a domain in your web browser, your request is sent through the global DNS system to the company whose NS records the domain address uses and from there you could be sent to the servers of another service provider if you have set an IP address of the latter as an A record for your Internet domain. Having separate records for the site and the emails means you can have your site and your e-mails with 2 different companies if you wish.

Custom MX and A Records in Hosting

If you have a Linux hosting from us, you'll be able to view, set up and change any A or MX record for your domain names. Provided that a specific Internet domain has our Name Servers, you're going to be able to modify specific records by using our Hepsia hosting CP and have your site or emails directed to another company if you would like to use only one of our services. Our leading-edge tool will allow you to have a domain name hosted here and a subdomain below it to be hosted someplace else by modifying only its A record - this will not affect the main domain name the slightest bit. If you choose to use the email services of another provider and they want you to create more than 2 MX records, you can easily do it with only a few mouse clicks within the DNS Records section of your Control Panel. You can also set different latency for every MX record i.e. which one is going to have priority.

Custom MX and A Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Handling these records is incredibly easy because all domains/subdomains are going to be listed alphabetically, so modifying a record is as simple as entering it in a box and saving the change. Creating a new one takes only a few more clicks and in case you experience any issues, you can check out our educational videos on how to create A and MX records. Our system is user-friendly enough to be used by individuals with little or no previous experience, yet advanced enough to provide you with total control over all records and to permit you to have different A records even for domain.com and www.domain.com. If you're switching your e-mails to a different provider and they ask you to create more than 2 different MX records, you may choose the priority of each one.
