The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for example, and you type the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

When you use a Linux cloud hosting package from our company and you register a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to handle its NS records with ease via the Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domain names at once with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to handle your domain name even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It takes simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for any domain name which is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain name and to check if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain address 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 manage any domain address with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host within the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have customers of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is free of charge.
