The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain registered in a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain address, but even of many domain names at the same time when you want to forward them all to the same webhosting provider. Identical steps will also allow you to direct newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer process isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domains will still point to the old host. If you want to create private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you will be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company website, as an example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain address to the same account also, not just the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, that will enable you to manage your domain addresses effortlessly even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain name before. Changing the NS records for each and every domain address registered through our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes just a couple of clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain addresses as part of the free DNS management services which 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 which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their web sites, employing this feature will give you more credibility as a business.
