The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider 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 would like to open a site, for example, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so you can see the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Web Hosting
When you use a Linux web hosting service from our company and you add a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to manage its NS records with ease through the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for many domains at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to control your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain 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 clicks more you will 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 every company that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for each and every domain address that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the innovative, though easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to see the current NS records for a particular domain name and to check if they're the ones that are needed 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 control any domain address easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you'd like to host inside the same account. This feature is very useful if you have customers of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is totally free.
