The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the web 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so you can view the content from the right location. Ordinarily a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
In case you register a domain name within a shared website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to handle its name servers easily. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a couple of clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domain names at once, which can save you time and efforts if you have a huge number of domains that you would like to direct to a different service provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. We also permit you to create private name servers for each and every domain name registered through our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if 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
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with highly user-friendly interface, that will allow you to manage your domain names easily even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain in the past. Changing the NS records for any domain name registered using our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are accurate or not as to direct that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and requires only several clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names as a part of the free DNS management services which we provide 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 which 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 much more credibility as a business.
