The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the 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) 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 would like 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 name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, allowing you to view the content from the right location. Usually a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain address registered within a hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just seconds. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of multiple domain names at once when you want to direct them all to the same webhosting provider. Identical steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform as the transfer procedure won't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still point to the old host. If you need to create private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company site, for example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain address to the same account as well, not just the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have many domain names in the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which could save you a great deal of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they're the right ones or not in order for the domain to be pointed to the account that you have on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to set up private name servers under any domain registered in the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for every other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
