The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the most effective way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of 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 forth, if you wish to change some of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to reach. In this way the site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least 2 NS records. There's no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company will use depends entirely on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The innovative Hepsia CP, included with with our shared hosting packages, will enable you to take care of the name servers of each and every domain address registered through our company with only a few mouse clicks, so even when you have not had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. We offer you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to direct the domain to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain name in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any difficulties even if you have never had a domain name of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have a number of domain names in the account, you will be able to update all of them at once, which will save you lots of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they're the right ones or not in order for the domain address to be directed to the account that you've got on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will enable you to create private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
