The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain address is the easiest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will 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 would like to modify some of these records, you'll be able to do it through their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name reveal the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you want to reach. In this way the web site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least 2 NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider is going to use depends exclusively on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to handle its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even multiple domain names simultaneously, which can save you considerable time and efforts if you have a lot of domain names you want to forward to another provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Additionally we allow you to set up private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered via our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for instance, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you're going to be able to control the NS records of each domain address registered within it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is essentially an all-in-one tool where you can manage everything associated with your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find your domain names isn't an exception, so even if you have not had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of clicks. You are also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain names uses presently and if they're the ones required to forward that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we present you with opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your site, especially if it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain name that you might want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
