The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you enter 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 site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Usually a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Hosting
If you register a domain name in a hosting account from our company, you will be able to handle its name servers with ease. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain names simultaneously, which could save you considerable time and efforts when you have a huge number of domain addresses that you'd like to point to a different provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. We allow you to create private name servers for any domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to direct any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will permit you to control your domain names effortlessly even if you have never used a web hosting account or a domain in the past. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered through our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are right or not as to direct that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and takes as little as a couple of mouse clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS administration services we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain address which you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, employing this feature will give you much more credibility as a business.
