The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (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 Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you input the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the right location. Normally a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain registered inside a website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you merely moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain name, but even of several domains at once when you intend to forward them all to the same hosting provider. The exact same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform as the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still point to the old host. If you want to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company website, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain to the same account too, not just the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each domain which is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the sophisticated, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a specific domain and to determine if they are the ones that are needed 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 permit you to handle any domain address easily even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're created, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host in the exact same account. This feature is very handy if you have customers of your own and you wish their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is totally free.
