The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the proper location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Hosting

When you use a hosting plan from our us and you include a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to manage its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain addresses at the same time with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to control your domain even if it's the first you have ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse 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 IP addresses of each and every company that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain name within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any problems even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, included with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domain names inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which will save you lots of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the right ones or not for the domain name to be directed to the account that you have got on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even allow you to create private name servers under any domain registered in the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for every other one that you intend to point to our cloud platform.
