Whenever you add a domain as hosted in some account, you typically set a pair of Name Servers to point it to that particular provider. On their end, 3 records are created automatically when the domain address is added - one A record and two MX records. The former is a numeric address, or IP address, which “tells” the domain address where its website is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they reveal the server that handles the e-mails for that specific Internet domain. The website and the email hosting are often thought to be one thing, when they are in fact two different services. Having different records for them will permit you to have them with different providers if you'd like. As an illustration, some new company can have outstanding 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 to the first and MX records to have the emails with the second, you could get the best of both companies. These records are checked when you want to open a site or send an email - either way, the provider whose name servers are used for the domain name is going to 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'll see the needed website or your email is going to be delivered.

Custom MX and A Records in Cloud Website Hosting

The Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with each and every Linux cloud website hosting which we offer you, will enable you to see, change and set up A and MX records for each domain name or subdomain inside your account. Through the DNS Records section, you are going to be able to see a list of all hosts in the account from a to z with their corresponding records, so any update will not take you more than a couple of clicks. Creating new records is as simple if, as an illustration, you want to use the email services of another provider and they ask you to create more MX records than the default two. You can also set the priority for each MX record by setting different latency. To put it differently, when your emails are delivered, the sending server will contact the record with the smallest latency first and in case the connection times out, it's going to contact the next one. Through our sophisticated tool, you are going to be able to manage the records of your domains and subdomains effortlessly even if you have no previous experience with such matters.

Custom MX and A Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Accessing and modifying the A or MX records for any of your domains or subdomains is incredibly easy if you buy a semi-dedicated server plan from our company. The accounts are managed by using our in-house built Hepsia Control Panel, which includes a section committed to the DNS records of your domains. The latter will be listed alphabetically and you may click on any of them to see both the A and the MX records. Modifying any record will be as easy as entering the new one in a text box and saving the change, so even if you have never dealt with such matters before, you won't experience any difficulties if you decide to move your site or e-mails to some other provider while keeping the second service with our company. If required, you can also create additional MX records and set a specific priority in accordance with the instructions of the new provider.
