The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, reveal which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain name is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so on, so if you want to modify any of these records, you'll be able to do it via their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain name reveal the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you are trying to access. This way the site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least 2 NS records. There's no practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider will use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you will be able to handle its name servers without difficulty. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously, which could save you considerable time and efforts when you have a large number of domains you want to redirect to another service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We enable you to create private name servers for any domain registered using our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to redirect any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs in particular, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every single domain address that's registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the advanced, though easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to see the current NS records for a specific domain name and to determine if they're the ones that are required for the domain address to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain with ease even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they're created, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host in the very same account. This option is very useful when you have customers of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is totally free.
