The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain 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 website, for instance, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is obtained, 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 distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

If you use a shared web hosting from our us and you register a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to handle its NS records effortlessly using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts.

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 handle your domain name even if it is the first you have ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every provider that you want the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each domain address that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few clicks through the advanced, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain and to check if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain name to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to control any domain address easily even if you have never 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 name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you might want to host in the exact same account. This feature is very handy 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 100 % free.
