The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet 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 hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In case you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers easily. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain names at the same time, which will save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses you want to direct to a different service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Additionally we allow you to create private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, that will permit you to control your domains effortlessly even if you have not used a web hosting account or a domain before. Changing the NS records for any domain address registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are accurate or not as to point that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and requires as little as a couple of mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domains as an element 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 inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their sites, using this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
