The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular hosting provider for your domain name is the simplest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etc, if you want to change some of these records, you are going to be able to do it via 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 obtain the DNS records of the Internet domain you are attempting to reach. That way the site that you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you register a domain name in a cloud website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to manage its name servers with ease. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain names at the same time, which could save you time and efforts when you have a huge number of domain names that you'd like to redirect to another service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. Additionally we permit you to set up private name servers for every single domain name registered with our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of each domain address registered in it without difficulty. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool for you to manage everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all your domains is not an exception, so even if you have not had a domain address and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a few mouse clicks. You'll also be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain addresses uses currently and if they're the ones needed to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we present you with opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com 100% free. This will give more credibility to your site, especially when it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain that you'd like to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
