The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, show which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain name is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will 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 on, if you would like to change some of these records, you're going to be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address point out 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 name you are trying to access. This way the site you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a host company will use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

When you use a Linux shared package from our company and you include a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you are going to be able to manage its NS records easily using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for many domain addresses at once with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to control your domain address even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you'd like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to manage the NS records of each domain name registered in it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is basically an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything related to your web presence, comes with a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find all of your domains is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few clicks. You will also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domains uses presently and if they are the ones required to direct that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your site, particularly if it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain that you might want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
