The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you type the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Hosting

In case you register a domain name within a hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to control its name servers without difficulty. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domain names at once, which could save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a huge number of domains that you would like to point to a different provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. We enable you to set up private name servers for each domain address registered via our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything additional 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 Servers

The name servers for every single domain name which is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from 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 specific domain name and to verify if they are the ones that are needed 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 enable you to control any domain with ease even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain name that you might want to host inside the same account. This feature is very handy when you have customers of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
