The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like 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 address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain address registered in a shared web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of several domain names at once in case that you want to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domains to our platform as the transfer procedure does not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account too, besides the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for any domain address that's registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few clicks using the sophisticated, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a specific domain and to determine if they're the ones that are necessary 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 permit you to handle any domain easily 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 name under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you might want to host inside the same account. This feature is very useful if you have customers of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
