The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you enter 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 hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

When you use a Linux web hosting from our us and you register a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to manage its NS records easily via 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 or even for many domain names 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 easy to manage your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each and every company that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for any domain address that is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the innovative, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a particular domain and to check if they are the ones that are needed for the domain name to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to manage any domain address easily even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you'd like to host within the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have customers of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is free of charge.
