The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the website (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) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain 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 site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
In case you register a domain name within a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to take care of its name servers easily. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domain addresses at a time, which could save you considerable time and efforts when you have a large number of domain addresses that you would like to forward to another service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. Furthermore we permit you to set up private name servers for each domain registered with our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs in particular, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, that will permit you to manage your domain addresses without difficulty even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain address previously. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered using our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are right or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes only a few mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domains as an element of the free DNS administration services we offer you 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 inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
