The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain address is the most effective way to point 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 forth, so if you want to change some of these records, you are going to be able to do it via their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain you are attempting to reach. In this way the web site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider is going to use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Website Hosting

When you use a website hosting from our us and you include a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to control its NS records effortlessly using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain addresses at the same 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 easy to manage your domain even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each provider that you would like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every domain which is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain and to check if they are the ones that are needed for the domain name 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 control any domain effortlessly even if you have not 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 just for the domain under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the very same account. This option is very beneficial when you have clients of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
