The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

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

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to handle the NS records of any domain address registered within it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can control everything associated with your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find your domain addresses isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to 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 are the ones needed to forward that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we present you with opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your website, particularly if it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain that you'd like to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
