The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain is the most effective way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled 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. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address reveal the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you are trying to access. In 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 each domain has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia CP, offered with with our shared website hosting packages, allows you to handle the name servers of every domain address registered through our company with just a few clicks, so even though you may haven't had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it will permit you to change the NS records of any domain or even a number of domains together. We also offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to redirect the domain to their system. Unlike other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for each and every domain name that's registered through us could be changed with no more than a few clicks via the advanced, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a particular domain address and to verify if they're the ones that are required for the domain to be forwarded 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 address easily even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you might want to host within the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have customers of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
