The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can look at 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 difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a shared plan from our us and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you are going to be able to manage its NS records easily using the Hepsia web hosting CP, provided 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 many domains at once with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to handle your domain even if it's the first you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for every single domain address which is registered through us could be changed with no more than a few clicks via the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to check if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host within the same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
