The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, 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 pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain registered inside a cloud web hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you only moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia CP, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain name, but even of multiple domain names at once if you intend to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. Identical steps will also enable you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform because the transfer process isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domains will still point to the old host. If you want to create private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with just a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, for example, it'll have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account also, not only the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of every domain name registered within it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is basically an all-in-one tool for you to 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 have not had a domain name and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of mouse clicks. You're also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain addresses uses right now and if they are the ones required to direct 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 web site, particularly when it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain name that you might want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
