The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

When you use a Linux website hosting package from our company and you register a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to manage its NS records easily using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domain addresses simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires just a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're 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 each 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 Hosting

The name servers for every domain that's registered through us could 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 effortless to see the current NS records for a given domain address and to determine if they're the ones that are required for the domain address to be directed 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 address easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they are set up, but also for any other domain that you would like to host within the same account. This feature is very useful when you have customers of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is totally free.
