The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish 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 forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain address registered within a shared hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you merely moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain address, but even of multiple domain names simultaneously when you want to forward them all to the same website hosting provider. The very same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domains to our platform for the reason that transfer process will not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you wish to create private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with only a couple of mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company website, as an example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain name to the same account also, not just the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each and every domain name that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to view the current NS records for a particular domain address and to verify if they are the ones that are required for the domain to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to control any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host in the same account. This option is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is totally free.
