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 website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails 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 hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for example, and you insert the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the right location. Usually a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered inside a hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain, but even of numerous domains at the same time whenever you want to direct them all to the same hosting provider. The exact same steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer procedure does not change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still forward to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you will be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company web site, as an example, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account as well, not just the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain name inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you will be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have several domain names in the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you lots of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they're the proper ones or not for the domain name to be pointed to the account that you've got on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to create private name servers under any domain name registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for any other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
