The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the most convenient way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, so, in case you would like to edit some of these records, you're going to be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to reach. That way the web site that you will see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain address has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a web hosting provider will use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Web Hosting

If you register a domain name in a web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers with ease. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains at the same time, which could save you a lot of time and efforts if you have a lot of domain names that you'd like to point to another service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. Additionally we permit you to create private name servers for every single domain registered through our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every domain name that is registered through us could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the leading-edge, though easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to determine if they are the ones that are needed for the domain 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 manage any domain name effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they are created, but also for any other domain that you might want to host in the exact same account. This option is very useful if you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is totally free.
