The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain 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, if you need to edit any one of these records, you'll be able to do it by using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address 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 want to reach. In this way the website 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 has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a web hosting provider will use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Hosting

When you use a hosting from our us and you register a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to control its NS records easily using the Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It takes just a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for every single domain which is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks from the sophisticated, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain address and to verify if they're the ones that are needed for the domain name to be pointed 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 name easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host within the exact same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
