The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a Linux shared hosting package from our company and you add a new domain address in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you're going to be able to manage its NS records easily using the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for several domain addresses simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to manage your domain address even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for any domain name that's registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks from the sophisticated, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain name and to check if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain address to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to manage any domain name easily even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you would 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 address under which they are created, but also for any other domain that you might want to host within the very same account. This option is very beneficial if you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
