The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed 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 web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to see the content from the right location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a Linux shared package from our company and you add a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to control its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia website hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a number of domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains 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 point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for any domain that is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks through the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to see the current NS records for a specific domain address and to determine if they're the ones that are needed for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to control any domain 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 address under which they're created, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the same account. This feature is very handy if you have customers of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
