The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company 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 wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the right location. Usually a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Hosting
In the event you register a domain name inside a hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to handle its name servers easily. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even several domain names simultaneously, which can save you time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses you want to point to a different provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. Furthermore we allow you to create private name servers for any Internet domain registered through our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for instance, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for every domain name that's registered through us could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain name and to determine if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain name to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain name effortlessly even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can 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're set up, but also for any other domain that you would like to host within the very same account. This option is very handy when you have customers of your own and you want their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
