The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the Internet 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 view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

When you use a Linux website hosting from our company and you register a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you are going to be able to control its NS records with ease using the Hepsia web hosting CP, provided 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 many domain addresses at a time with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each and every provider that you want the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you will be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues even if you have never had a domain name of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have several domain names within the account, you're going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which can save you a great deal of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers which a domain name uses and if they are the right ones or not as a way for the domain name to be forwarded to the account that you've got on our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for any other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
