Any time you add a domain as hosted in some account, you typically set a pair of Name Servers to direct it to that specific provider. On their end, three records are created automatically as soon as the domain address is added - one A record and two MX records. The former is a numeric address, or IP address, that “tells” the Internet domain where its site is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they indicate the server that manages the e-mails for that specific Internet domain. The site and the e-mail hosting are typically regarded as one thing, when they are in fact two different services. Having independent records for them will allow you to have them with different companies if you'd like. As an example, some new service provider might have outstanding uptime for your website, but you might not want to switch your e-mails from your current host and by employing an A record to point the domain address to the first and MX records to have the e-mails with the latter, you can get the best of both providers. These records are checked when you wish to open a site or send an email - in either case, the service provider whose name servers are used for the domain address is going to be contacted to retrieve the A and MX records and if you've set records different from their own, the right web/mail server will then be contacted and you will see the needed site or your email is going to be delivered.
Custom MX and A Records in Cloud Web Hosting
The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with each and every cloud web hosting which we offer you, will allow you to see, change and set up A and MX records for any domain or subdomain inside your account. Using the DNS Records section, you are going to be able to see a list of all hosts inside the account from a to z with their corresponding records, so any update is not going to take you more than a few clicks. Setting up new records is just as simple if, as an example, you wish to use the e-mail services of a different service provider and they ask you to create more MX records than the default two. You may also set the priority for every MX record by setting different latency. Quite simply, when your emails are delivered, the sending server is going to contact the record with the smallest latency first and if the connection times out, it will contact the next one. Using our state-of-the-art tool, you'll be able to control the records of your domain addresses and subdomains effortlessly even when you have no prior experience with such matters.
Custom MX and A Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
With the semi-dedicated servers which we offer, you will have complete 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 each one of them has through the DNS Records section of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and changing any record requires simply a few clicks. If you choose to switch your web or e-mail hosting provider, you can edit the necessary record and direct your domain to the other service provider for one of the services, as you still carry on using the other one through us. Also you can 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 default two we have, you can create them with ease and set a different priority for every single one.
