The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain address is the most effective way to point it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etc, so if you would like to change any one of these records, you're going to be able to do it via their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that 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 domain name you are trying to access. That way the web site that you will see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company is going to use depends exclusively on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

When you use a cloud hosting from our company and you add a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you are going to be able to manage its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts.

This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to manage your domain name even if it's the first you've ever registered. It requires merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every company that you want the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to control the NS records of every domain registered within it easily. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything related to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section in which you will find all of your domain names isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain addresses uses presently and if they're the ones needed to forward that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your website, especially when it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain address that you'd like to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
