The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you use a Linux cloud hosting from our company and you add a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to control its NS records effortlessly using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a number of domains simultaneously with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to control your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you'll 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 any company that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you're going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any troubles even if you haven't had a domain of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, included with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have several domains in the account, you'll be able to update all of them simultaneously, which will save you lots of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they're the correct ones or not in order for the domain address to be directed to the account that you have on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to set up private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for every other one that you would like to point to our cloud platform.
