The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, enabling you to see the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our web hosting products, will permit you to handle the name servers of any domain registered through us with only a couple of clicks, so even when you haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. We give you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain address registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to redirect the domain address to their system. Different from other companies, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain name inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any problems even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domain addresses inside the account, you will be able to update all of them at the same time, which can save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they are the right ones or not in order for the domain to be forwarded to the account which you have on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to set up private name servers under any domain registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
