The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

If you use a Linux shared website hosting from our us and you include a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to handle its NS records easily through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a number of domain addresses at the same time with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to control your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It requires merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every company that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will help you manage your domain names without difficulty even when you have never used a web hosting account or a domain address up to now. Changing the NS records for any domain address registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are correct or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and takes just a few clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as a part of the free DNS administration services we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain that you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
