The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, 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 effective 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), etcetera, if you would like to edit some of these records, you will be able to do it through their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name reveal the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain you are attempting to reach. This way the web site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a web hosting provider is going to use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to take care of its name servers effortlessly. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a couple of clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domain names at the same time, which can save you time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses that you'd like to point to another provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Additionally we allow you to create private name servers for every single domain registered using our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for instance, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to manage the NS records of any domain registered inside it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, provides a very simple and intuitive interface. The section where you will find your domain addresses is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain name and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain addresses uses presently and if they're the ones required to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. 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 name that you might want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
