The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain name registered within a website hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of multiple domains at the same time in case that you want to direct them all to the same webhosting provider. The very same steps will also enable you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domains will still direct to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company site, for instance, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain address to the same account too, not just the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each domain which is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks from the innovative, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as easy to see the current NS records for a specific domain and to verify if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to control any domain easily even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they're set up, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host within the exact same account. This option is very useful when you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is totally free.
