The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so you can look at the content from the proper 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 simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

If you use a Linux cloud website hosting plan from our company and you register a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia web 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 domains at the same time with several mouse 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 handle your domain even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It takes merely a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each and every provider that you would like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain address in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any problems even if you have never had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domains in the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you a great deal of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain uses and if they are the right ones or not in order for the domain address to be forwarded to the account which you have on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will enable you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for every other one that you wish to direct to our cloud platform.
