The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the web 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 enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, so you can see the content from the right location. Normally a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain registered within a web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you only seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of several domains at the same time in case that you need to point them all to the same hosting company. The exact same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domain addresses to our platform as the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company web site, as an example, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain name to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, which will enable you to control your domains easily even if you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain name up to now. Changing the NS records for each and every domain registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are correct or not as to point that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and takes as little as several mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names as an element 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 address which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their sites, using this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
