The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the 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 wish to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can look at the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In the event you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to handle 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 mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domain names at a time, which can save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a large number of domains you want to forward to an alternative service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. In addition we enable you to set up private name servers for every single domain name registered via our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each domain that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few clicks via the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to view the current NS records for a given domain address and to determine if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain address 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 manage any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may also 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 are set up, but also for any other domain name that you might want to host inside the very same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
