The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (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 Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want 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 and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to see the content from the proper location. Normally a domain 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 Web Hosting

When you use a web hosting from our us and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to handle its NS records with ease via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domain addresses simultaneously with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to manage your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It requires only a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any provider that you'd like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each domain name which is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a particular domain and to check if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain 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 control any domain name effortlessly even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they're set up, but also for any other domain name that you might want to host inside the exact same account. This option is very handy when you have customers of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is totally free.
