The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

When you use a website hosting from our us and you include a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to control its NS records easily using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a group of domains at once with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to handle your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It takes merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each company that you would like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each domain that's registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the sophisticated, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to view the current NS records for a given domain address and to check if they're the ones that are required for the domain address to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain address effortlessly even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they're set up, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host within the same account. This option is very useful if you have customers of your own and you wish their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
