The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the 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 on are extracted 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 has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered within a shared website hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of multiple domains at a time if you need to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. The very same steps will also permit you to point newly transferred domains to our platform because the transfer process is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company web 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 forwarding any other domain name to the same account too, not only the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you are going to be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you have not had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a couple of clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have multiple domain addresses inside the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at once, which could save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain name uses and if they are the right ones or not for the domain address to be directed to the account that you have on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to set up private name servers under any domain name registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
