The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input the URL, the 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 obtained, enabling you to look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has two 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 use a cloud hosting plan from our us and you include a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you're going to be able to control its NS records easily through the Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domain names simultaneously with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain address even if it's the first you've ever registered. It takes merely a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every company that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you will be able to update its NS records as required without any problems even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have many different domains inside the account, you will be able to update all of them at once, which will save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the correct ones or not in order for the domain address to be directed to the account that you've got on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even permit you to set up private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
