The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any 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 wish 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 forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

When you use a Linux shared hosting package 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 with ease via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for many domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to control your domain address even if it is the first you have ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every company that you would like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every single domain which is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks from the innovative, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to see the current NS records for a given domain address 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 enable you to manage any domain name with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they're set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host inside the same account. This option is very handy when you have clients of your own and you wish their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available 100 % free.
