The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In the event you register a domain name in a shared hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers with ease. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domain names at a time, which could save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a lot of domain names that you would like to direct to another service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. Furthermore we permit you to set up private name servers for each domain address registered via our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you're going to be able to manage the NS records of each domain address registered inside it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is essentially an all-in-one tool for you to manage everything associated with your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find your domains isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a several mouse clicks. You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain names uses at the moment and if they're the ones required to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your website, especially when it is a business one, and you may use these name servers for any other domain which you want to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
