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 hosting provider for your domain address is the most effective way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will be handled 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 on, if you would like to change any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, 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 retrieve the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to reach. This way the site that you will see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a web hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In case you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to control its name servers easily. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with only a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domain names at a time, which can save you a lot of time and efforts if you have a huge number of domains you want to direct to another provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. Additionally we allow you to set up private name servers for each domain name registered with our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each and every domain name that is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the sophisticated, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to view the current NS records for a particular domain name and to determine if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain name to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're set up, but also for any other domain address that you might want to host within the very same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is totally free.
