The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, reveal which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the most effective way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, so, in case you need to modify any of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain reveal the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you are trying to reach. In this way the web site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Hosting

If you register a domain name in a hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to take care of its name servers without difficulty. This is done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domains simultaneously, which can save you time and efforts in case you have a lot of domain names you want to point to another provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. Additionally we allow you to set up private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered using our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs in particular, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of each domain name registered inside it with ease. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can deal with everything related to your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find your domain addresses is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain name and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a few clicks. You'll also be able to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain addresses uses currently and if they're the ones required to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we present you with opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly if it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain which you want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
