The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you insert the URL, the 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 hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, allowing you to view the content from the proper location. Normally a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

When you use a cloud website hosting plan from our company and you include a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to control its NS records easily via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a group of domain names at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to manage your domain even if it's the first you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each provider that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, that will allow you to handle your domains easily even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain name in the past. Changing the NS records for any domain name registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to forward that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and takes only several mouse clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain names as part of the free DNS management services we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain which you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their websites, employing this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
