The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain address is the most convenient way to point it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etcetera, if you wish to modify any one of these records, you will be able to do it via their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain point out the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain name you want to reach. This way the website you will see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

In the event you register a domain name within a shared web hosting account from our company, you will be able to manage its name servers with ease. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with only a few mouse clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain addresses at the same time, which could save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain names that you'd like to point to another provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. In addition we allow you to set up private name servers for any domain registered through our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs in particular, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will help you control your domain names without difficulty even when you haven't used a hosting account or a domain address previously. Changing the NS records for each and every domain registered through our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are correct or not as to direct that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and requires as little as several mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domains as an element of the free DNS control services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for each and every domain name which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
