The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are extracted 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 would like to open a website, for instance, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to look at the content from the right location. Normally a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Hosting
If you register a domain name within a hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers easily. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with a few clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains at a time, which could save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain names that you would like to redirect to another provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. Furthermore we allow you to create private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered using our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, which will enable you to handle your domain addresses without difficulty even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain name previously. Changing the NS records for each and every domain address registered through our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and requires only a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domains as an element of the free DNS management services we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain name you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature will give you a lot more credibility as a business.
