The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain registered inside a cloud hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you just seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of many domain names at the same time if you want to forward them all to the same website hosting provider. The exact same steps will also permit you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform as the transfer process isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you wish to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company web site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it uses 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 address which is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to verify if they are the ones that are required 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 enable you to manage any domain address with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you would like, 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 that you would like to host within the same account. This feature is very useful if you have clients of your own and you wish their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
