The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to 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 and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to manage its name servers easily. This can be done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even multiple domain names at a time, which will save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a lot of domain names that you would like to direct to an alternative provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We enable you to set up private name servers for any domain registered via our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to direct any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every single domain address which is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks using the sophisticated, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain and to determine if they are the ones that are needed for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to control any domain effortlessly even if you have not 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 under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host inside the exact same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
