The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
When you use a Linux cloud package from our us and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you will be able to manage its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You can 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 via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to handle your domain address even if it's the first you've ever registered. It requires merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you want the new NS records to point to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for each and every domain address which is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few clicks using the leading-edge, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as easy to view the current NS records for a particular domain and to verify if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain name to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to control any domain name with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they're set up, but also for any other domain that you'd like to host inside the exact same account. This feature is very handy when you have clients of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
