The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you type 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered in a shared hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain address, but even of many domains at once when you want to point them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer process doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domains will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you will be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company web site, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account as well, not only the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will permit you to manage your domain addresses easily even if you haven't used a hosting account or a domain name previously. Changing the NS records for any domain registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are correct or not as to forward that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and takes only a couple of mouse clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under any of your domains as a part of the free DNS management services which 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 which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their sites, employing this feature is going to give you more credibility as a business.
