The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain 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 Shared Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared hosting products, allows you to deal with the name servers of each and every domain registered through us with just a couple of clicks, so even if you have never had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domains simultaneously. In addition we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to point the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to redirect the domain to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to manage the NS records of any domain name registered inside it with ease. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can manage everything relevant to your web presence, provides a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all your domains is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a several mouse clicks. You're also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain names uses currently and if they're the ones required to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com 100% free. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly when it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain that you'd like to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
