The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the 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), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are taken 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 has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so you can look at the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
If you use a Linux shared hosting package from our company and you add a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you are going to be able to handle its NS records easily using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for many domain addresses at once with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to handle your domain even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It requires simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will allow you to handle your domains with ease even when you have never used a web hosting account or a domain name before. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes as little as a couple of mouse clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain names as an element of the free DNS management services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain name which you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, employing this feature will give you more credibility as a business.
