The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for instance, and you insert 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 web site is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In case you register a domain name within a shared hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to manage its name servers without difficulty. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domains at once, which could save you time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain names that you'd like to direct to a different service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. We allow you to set up private name servers for any Internet domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for every domain which is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few clicks using the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a particular domain name and to determine if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain name to be pointed 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 name effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain address under which they're set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host in the exact same account. This feature is very useful if you have clients of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available totally free.
