The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, 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 forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, offered with with our cloud hosting packages, allows you to deal with the name servers of any domain registered through our company with just a few clicks, so even when you have not had a hosting plan or a domain before, you will not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to change the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses all at once. We also provide you with the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to forward the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to point the domain name to their system. Unlike other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain and to determine 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 name effortlessly even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you can 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 address that you'd like to host within the very same account. This option is very beneficial when you have clients of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available 100 % free.
