The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the right location. Normally a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered inside a shared hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of one domain address, but even of numerous domain addresses at the same time whenever you would like to forward them all to the same hosting company. The exact same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domains to our platform since the transfer procedure won't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still direct to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company website, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will help you control your domains with ease even if you have not used a web hosting account or a domain previously. Changing the NS records for each and every domain address registered through our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are correct or not as to direct that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and requires just a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS management services that we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain address you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature will give you a lot more credibility as a business.
