The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain is the most convenient way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will be taken care of on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, so, in case you would like to change any one of these records, you will be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address show 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 Internet domain you want to reach. In this way the site that you're going to see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There's no functional difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider will use depends only on their preference.
NS Records in Website Hosting
In case you register a domain name within a website hosting account from our company, you'll be able to control its name servers with ease. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even multiple domain names at the same time, which can save you considerable time and efforts when you have a huge number of domains you want to forward to an alternative provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. We also permit you to set up private name servers for every single domain name registered through our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you are going to be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you haven't had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, provided with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have a number of domain names within the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which will save you a great deal of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain uses and if they are the correct ones or not in order for the domain address to be directed to the account which you have on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even permit you to create private name servers under any domain name registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for any other one that you intend to point to our cloud platform.
