Whenever you add a domain name as hosted in some account, you usually set a pair of Name Servers to point it to that particular service provider. On their end, three records are created automatically when 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 address where its site is, while the other two are alphanumeric and they indicate the server that handles the emails for that specific domain. The site and the email hosting are generally regarded as one thing, when they are actually two different services. Having separate records for them will enable you to have them with different providers if you want. For instance, some new company can have exceptional uptime for your site, but you might not want to switch your e-mails from your current host and by employing an A record to point the domain name to the former and MX records to have the emails with the second, you could get the best of both providers. These records are checked when you want to open a site or send an e-mail - either way, 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 have set records different from their own, the correct web/mail server will then be contacted and you are going to see the needed site or your e-mail will be delivered.

Custom MX and A Records in Shared Hosting

With a shared hosting package from us, you will be able to set up or change the A and MX records of your domains and subdomains effortlessly by using our innovative Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Modifying the default records will take two clicks and the creation of a new record takes just a couple of more clicks, so even if you have never dealt with such matters, you won't experience any issues. We've got a comprehensive help section that will make things even easier. If you would like to change your email provider and you have to set up several MX records in addition to the default 2, you can choose their priority i.e. which record is going to deal with your e-mails first when someone sends you a message. Normally the new provider is going to tell you what these values need to be. With our shared plans, you're going to have complete control of your domains and subdomains and you'll be able to manage their A and MX records very easily and at any time.
