The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a shared website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers easily. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even several domain addresses simultaneously, which could save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a huge number of domain names you want to redirect to an alternative service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. We permit you to set up private name servers for any domain name registered through our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs in particular, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to handle the NS records of any domain name registered inside it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is essentially an all-in-one tool where you can control everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all of your domain names is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a few clicks. You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain addresses uses right now and if they are the ones needed to direct that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we present you with opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your website, particularly if it is a business one, and you may use these name servers for any other domain that you'd like to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
