The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In case you register a domain name within a shared hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to take care of its name servers without difficulty. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with only a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domain addresses at once, which will save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a huge number of domain addresses you want to redirect to an alternative provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. We permit you to create private name servers for each Internet domain registered via our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to redirect any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, which will allow you to handle your domain addresses with ease even if you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain address previously. Changing the NS records for each and every domain name registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are correct or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes as little as a couple of clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domains as part of the free DNS administration 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 each and every domain address which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, employing this feature is going to give you more credibility as a business.
