The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to see the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared web hosting packages, allows you to control the name servers of every single domain address registered through our company with simply a few mouse clicks, so even when you have not had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you simply won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to change the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names together. In addition we provide you with the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to direct the domain name to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you will be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues even if you haven't had a domain of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have a number of domain addresses within the account, you'll be able to update all of them at the same time, which will save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. Also 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 pointed to the account that you have on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to create private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
