The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

If you use a Linux shared web hosting from our company and you include a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to manage its NS records with ease using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domain names at once with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain name even if it is the first you have ever registered. It requires merely a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you have never had a domain of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, included with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have many different domain names within the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which could save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the proper ones or not as a way for the domain name to be forwarded to the account that you've got on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will allow you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for any other one that you want to point to our cloud platform.
