The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you type the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the right location. Normally a domain name has a couple of 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 register a domain name within a shared hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to take care of its name servers effortlessly. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains simultaneously, which could save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a lot of domain addresses that you'd like to point to a different service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. We also permit you to create private name servers for each domain address registered via our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to control the NS records of any domain registered inside it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is essentially an all-in-one tool for you to control everything associated with your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find all of your domains isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of clicks. You'll also be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain addresses uses currently and if they're the ones needed to forward that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we give you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly when it is a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain name that you might want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
