The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the 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 on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has 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 address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so you can look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

If you use a Linux shared web hosting from our company and you include a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to manage its NS records with ease via the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain addresses at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to control your domain even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It requires just a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you want the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain name inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any difficulties even if you have never had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domains within the account, you are going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which could save you a lot of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the right ones or not in order for the domain name to be directed to the account that you have got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to create private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for any other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
