The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input 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 web site is obtained, enabling you to view 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 just visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

If you use a Linux website hosting package from our company and you register a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you're going to be able to manage its NS records with ease using the Hepsia web 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 several domain addresses at the same time with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to handle your domain name even if it's the first you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain 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 domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each company that you want the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a new domain in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you have never had a domain of your own before. The process takes a couple of clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, included with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have several domains inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which can save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the right ones or not for the domain to be pointed to the account that you have on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also enable you to set up private name servers under any domain name registered in the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for any other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
