The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain name 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 a site, for example, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
In the event you register a domain name within a cloud hosting account from our company, you will be able to manage its name servers effortlessly. This is done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of mouse clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domain addresses at the same time, which will save you considerable time and efforts when you have a lot of domain addresses that you'd like to forward to another service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Furthermore we allow you to create private name servers for any domain name registered using our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs in particular, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for any domain name that's registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to view the current NS records for a given domain name and to verify if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to handle any domain address with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they're set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the exact same account. This option is very useful if you have clients of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
