The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the right location. Normally 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 simply visual.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
In case you register a domain name inside a cloud web hosting account from our company, you'll be able to manage its name servers without difficulty. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with only a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domain names at once, which will save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domains that you would like to direct to an alternative service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Furthermore we allow you to create private name servers for any domain name registered via our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to direct any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to control the NS records of each domain address registered in it without difficulty. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything associated with your web presence, offers a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find all of your domain addresses is not an exception, so even if you have not had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a several mouse clicks. You're also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domains uses right now and if they're the ones required to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your website, especially if it is a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain which you want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
