The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the 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 hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for example, and you insert 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 site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain address registered in a shared web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of one domain address, but even of numerous domain addresses at once when you want to point them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform given that the transfer process does not change the name servers automatically and the domains will still forward to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company website, for instance, it'll have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you will be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domain addresses inside the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at once, which could save you lots of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the correct ones or not in order for the domain to be directed to the account that you've got on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even allow you to create private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
