The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain registered in a website hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of numerous domain addresses at a time in case that you need to direct them all to the same hosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to forward newly transferred domains to our platform because the transfer process will not change the name servers automatically and the domains will still redirect to the old host. If you would like to create private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company web site, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account as well, not only the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, that will permit you to control your domain names easily even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain name up to now.

You're also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as part of the free DNS administration services we provide 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 that you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their sites, using this feature is going to give you a lot more credibility as a business.
