The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can see the content from the correct location. Normally a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a shared website hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers effortlessly. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with only a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domain addresses at a time, which will save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domains that you would like to forward to an alternative service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Furthermore we permit you to set up private name servers for each domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, that will help you control your domains effortlessly even when you have not used a hosting account or a domain name up to now. Changing the NS records for each domain registered with our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and requires just a few clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names 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 name which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
