The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, enabling you to look at the content from the correct location. Ordinarily 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 only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a Linux shared hosting from our us and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you're going to be able to control its NS records with ease via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a number of domain addresses simultaneously with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to manage your domain name even if it's the first you've ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only 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 every provider that you would like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will enable you to control your domain addresses without difficulty even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain before. Changing the NS records for any 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 quite easy and takes as little as several clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain addresses as a part of the free DNS control services which 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 address you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature will give you far more credibility as a business.
