The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, show which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain name is the most effective way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so on, if you want to modify some of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to access. In this way the web site you will see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers with ease. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously, which will save you considerable time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses you want to point to an alternative service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. We enable you to set up private name servers for each and every domain address registered using our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to direct any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for example, 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 address which is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain name and to determine if they're the ones that are required 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 enable you to control any domain address with ease even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain name under which they are created, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host in the very same account. This feature is very useful when you have customers of your own and you want their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is free of charge.
