The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain 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 Hosting

In case you register a domain name within a hosting account from our company, you'll be able to manage its name servers effortlessly. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a couple of clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain addresses at the same time, which will save you time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses you want to point to another service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. We enable you to set up private name servers for each and every domain registered via our company and in contrast to many other providers we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for example, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a new domain name in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many domain addresses in the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which can save you a great deal of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the correct ones or not in order for the domain name to be forwarded to the account which you have on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even allow you to create private name servers under any domain name registered within the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for any other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
