The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company 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 website, for example, and you input the URL, the Internet 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

When you use a Linux cloud hosting from our us and you add a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you will be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes 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 group 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 easy to handle your domain name even if it is the first you've ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for any domain that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from the innovative, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to view the current NS records for a given domain and to determine if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to handle any domain name easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they're set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host in the very same account. This option is very useful when you have clients of your own and you wish their websites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
