The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for example, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

When you use a shared hosting package from our company and you register a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to handle its NS records effortlessly using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for many domain addresses at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to control your domain address even if it's the first you have ever registered. It takes just a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain name 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 any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you'd like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of any domain name registered within it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find all your domain addresses isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few mouse clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain names uses presently and if they are the ones required to forward that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your web site, especially if it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain which you want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
