The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the correct location. Usually a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you use a Linux cloud hosting from our us and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to control its NS records easily using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for many domain names simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain name even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires just a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you would like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to handle the NS records of every domain registered within it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything associated with your web presence, offers a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find all your domains is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few mouse clicks. You are also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain names uses right now and if they are the ones required to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly if it is a business one, and you could use these name servers for any other domain address that you might want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
