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 given hosting provider for your domain name is the simplest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so forth, so if you wish to change any of these records, you'll be able to do it through their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address reveal the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to reach. This way the website that you will see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company will use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Web Hosting

If you register a domain name in a web hosting account from our company, you will be able to handle its name servers with ease. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with only a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domains simultaneously, which could save you considerable time and efforts when you have a lot of domain addresses that you would like to point to another service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Additionally we permit you to set up private name servers for every domain registered through our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you're going to be able to manage the NS records of every domain name registered within it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything associated with your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find 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 will not take you more than a several clicks. You are also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain addresses uses currently and if they're the ones required to forward that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your site, particularly when it is a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain that you would like to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
