The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular hosting provider for your domain is the easiest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, if you want to edit any of these records, you're going to be able to do it via their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain reveal the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain you want to access. In this way the site you will see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least two NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.

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 manage its name servers with ease. This can be done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domain names at a time, which can save you a lot of time and efforts if you have a large number of domain names you want to redirect to an alternative service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. We permit you to create private name servers for each and every domain address registered with our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to point any other domain 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 names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will permit you to manage your domain addresses easily even when you have never used a hosting account or a domain name up to now. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are accurate or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and takes only a couple of mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domains as part of the free DNS control services we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain name that you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their sites, employing this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
