The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the 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 web site is obtained, so you can look at the content from the correct location. Usually a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you use a cloud hosting from our company and you register a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to handle its NS records with ease through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domains at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain name even if it is the first you've ever registered. It takes only a 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 a few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you would like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, that will enable you to handle your domains effortlessly even if you have not used a hosting account or a domain address up to now.

You'll also be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS control services that we provide 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 which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature is going to give you more credibility as a business.
