The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address 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 Website Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our shared website hosting products, allows you to take care of the name servers of every domain address registered through our company with just a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may have never had a hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names together. In addition we provide you with the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to forward the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to redirect the domain name to their system. Unlike other providers, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each and every domain name that is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks through the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as easy to view the current NS records for a specific domain and to verify if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain to be forwarded 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 easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you might want to host inside the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have clients of your own and you wish their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
