The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can see 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 Shared Website Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain name registered within a shared website hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you only seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of several domains simultaneously whenever you would like to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. Identical steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domains to our platform since the transfer process doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a couple of mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they're created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for each domain address that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few clicks via the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to see the current NS records for a specific domain address and to check if they are the ones that are needed for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to handle any domain name with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain address under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the very same account. This feature is very handy if you have customers of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is totally free.
