The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the most effective way to direct 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), etc, so if you would like to change any one of these records, you're going to be able to do it via their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you are attempting to access. In this way the website you will see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least two NS records. There's no practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider will use depends exclusively on their preference.
NS Records in Web Hosting
When you use a web hosting from our us and you register a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you're going to be able to handle its NS records with ease using the Hepsia website hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a group of domain addresses at the same time with several 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 is the first one you've ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each company that you'd like the new NS records to point to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of each domain name registered within it without difficulty. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can control everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and intuitive interface. The section in which you will find your domain addresses isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a couple of mouse clicks. You are also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domains uses right now and if they are the ones needed to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we present you with opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your site, particularly if it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for any other domain address that you might want to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
