The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain 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 type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a Linux shared hosting from our us and you include a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you're going to be able to handle its NS records easily through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for several domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to manage your domain name even if it is the first one you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every company that you would like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for every single domain name that's registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks through the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to verify if they're the ones that are required for the domain name to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to control any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may 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 are set up, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host inside the exact same account. This option is very handy if you have clients of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is free of charge.
