The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the proper location. Normally a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain name registered within a cloud hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain address, but even of multiple domain addresses at the same time if you intend to point them all to the same hosting provider. The very same steps will also permit you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform given that the transfer procedure isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domains will still redirect to the old host. If you want to set up private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company site, for example, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain name in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, included with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have several domain addresses within the account, you will be able to update all of them at once, which can save you a lot of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they're the right ones or not as a way for the domain address to be pointed to the account that you have on our sophisticated cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to set up private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not only for that domain address, but also for every other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
