The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you type 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 website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the proper location. Usually a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a shared hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to manage its name servers without difficulty. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even several domain addresses at the same time, which can save you considerable time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses that you'd like to redirect to another provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We enable you to set up private name servers for every domain name registered using our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to redirect 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 for instance, all domains added to 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 each domain registered in it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is essentially an all-in-one tool where you can control everything relevant to your web presence, provides a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all of your domain addresses isn't an exception, so even if you have never had a domain name and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a couple of mouse clicks. You're also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain addresses uses currently and if they are the ones needed to point that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com 100% free. This will give more credibility to your web site, especially if it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain address which you want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
