The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet 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 company where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Ordinarily a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
If you register a domain name within a shared website hosting account from our company, you'll be able to control its name servers with ease. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domain names at a time, which will save you considerable time and efforts if you have a lot of domain names that you'd like to forward to another provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. Furthermore we allow you to create private name servers for every single domain name registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses included in 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 very user-friendly interface, that will enable you to handle your domain addresses without difficulty even when you have not used a web hosting account or a domain address before. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes only several mouse clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain addresses as a part of the free DNS management services which we offer 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 within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, employing this feature will give you more credibility as a business.
