The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the right location. Usually a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you use a Linux cloud hosting from our company and you include a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to handle its NS records easily via the Hepsia website hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a group of domains at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to handle your domain name even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires simply a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each provider that you would like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to manage the NS records of each domain registered inside it easily. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can manage everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all of your domain names isn't an exception, so even if you have never had a domain address and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a few mouse clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain addresses uses presently and if they are the ones needed to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your website, especially if it's a business one, and you could use these name servers for any other domain that you might want to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
