The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain is the most effective way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, if you wish to modify any one of these records, you'll be able to do it through their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain show the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to access. That way the web site you will see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any functional difference between the two prefixes, so which one a hosting provider will use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Hosting

If you use a hosting from our us and you include a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domains simultaneously 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 simple to manage your domain address even if it is the first you have ever registered. It takes only 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 name to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any company that you want the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for any domain that is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the innovative, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to check if they're the ones that are needed for the domain name to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to control any domain name effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host within the exact same account. This option is very handy if you have clients of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is free of charge.
