The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain address is the most convenient way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so forth, so, in case you need to change some of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address reveal the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain you are trying to access. This way the website that you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain name has at least 2 NS records. There's no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a web hosting provider is going to use depends entirely on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a shared hosting account from our company, you will be able to manage its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domain names at the same time, which could save you time and efforts when you have a huge number of domain names that you would like to redirect to an alternative provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. Additionally we enable you to set up private name servers for every single domain registered via our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain name in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any problems even if you have never had a domain name of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domains within the account, you will be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you a great deal of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the proper ones or not as a way for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you have on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered inside the account and use them not only for that domain address, but also for every other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
