The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol 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), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can see the content from the right location. Usually 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 Shared Hosting
In the event you register a domain name in a shared hosting account from our company, you will 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 few mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domains at once, which can save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a lot of domain names that you'd like to forward to a different provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. In addition we allow you to create 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 new NS records can be used to forward any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for instance, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, that will permit you to handle your domains without difficulty even if you have not used a hosting account or a domain address before. Changing the NS records for each and every domain address registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are accurate or not as to forward that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and takes just a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain names as an element of the free DNS control services we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their sites, employing this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
