The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for example, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

When you use a Linux shared web hosting from our company and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to manage its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domains at the same time with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to handle your domain address even if it is the first one 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 forward a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each provider that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each and every domain that's registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks through the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain address and to determine if they're the ones that are required for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to manage any domain address with ease even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain name under which they are created, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host within the exact same account. This option is very handy if you have customers of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
