The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that manages 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 web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

If you use a Linux cloud web hosting package from our us and you include a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you'll be able to control its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domains at a time 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 will make it easy to manage your domain name even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires only a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each and every provider that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for any domain that is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a given domain and to determine if they are the ones that are required for the domain address 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 manage any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host in the very same account. This feature is very beneficial when you have clients of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
