The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the web 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 company where the A record of the site is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the proper location. Ordinarily 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 simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In case you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to manage its name servers easily. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domains at a time, which will save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain names you want to forward to a different provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. We also enable you to set up private name servers for each and every domain address registered through our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to redirect any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs in particular, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will permit you to handle your domain names with ease even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain name in the past. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are right or not as to point that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and takes just a couple of clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS administration 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 every domain you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, employing this feature will give you a lot more credibility as a business.
