The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP 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) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Ordinarily a domain name 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
Taking care of the NS records for any domain name registered within a shared hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you only seconds. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain, but even of many domain names at once in case that you want to direct them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domain addresses to our platform since the transfer procedure is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you will be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account as well, not only the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will permit you to manage your domain addresses with ease even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain before. Changing the NS records for each and every domain registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and requires just a few clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names as part of the free DNS management services that 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 each and every domain which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
