The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP 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 provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, allowing you to view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

When you use a web hosting from our company and you register a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you're going to be able to handle its NS records effortlessly via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domain names at once with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to handle your domain name even if it is the first you've ever registered. It takes merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of 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 provider that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will permit you to control your domains easily even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain in the past. Changing the NS records for any domain address registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are correct or not as to point that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and takes as little as a couple of mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain names as a part of the free DNS administration services which 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 name that 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 much more credibility as a business.
