The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the 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 website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed 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. Commonly a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

When you use a Linux shared web hosting package from our company and you add a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you'll be able to control its NS records easily using the Hepsia website hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domain addresses at once with several mouse 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 easy to manage your domain even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain address 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 domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you would like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to manage the NS records of each domain registered within it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is essentially an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything associated with your web presence, comes with a very simple and intuitive interface. The section in which you will find your domain names isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a couple of mouse clicks. You will also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domains uses currently and if they're the ones needed to direct that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we present you with opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly when it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for any other domain address that you'd like to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
