The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the proper location. Commonly 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 only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

If you use a cloud website hosting from our company and you register a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to control its NS records effortlessly through 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 address or even for many domain addresses at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain address even if it's the first you have ever registered. It takes just a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to 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 any provider that you'd like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, that will enable you to control your domain names without difficulty even when you have not used a hosting account or a domain address up to now. Changing the NS records for each domain address registered through our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are right or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and requires just a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domains as a part of the free DNS control services that we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain which you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
