The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company 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 an Internet site, for example, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Normally a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

When you use a cloud plan from our company and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to control its NS records with ease via the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a number of domains at once with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to control your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires merely a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, that will permit you to manage your domains effortlessly even if you have not used a hosting account or a domain address before.

You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as 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.
