The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular hosting provider for your domain is the most convenient way to point it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), and so on, if you need to change some of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain name 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 Internet domain you are trying to reach. This way the website you will see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a website hosting provider is going to use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared hosting plans, will allow you to take care of the name servers of every single domain address registered through us with simply a couple of clicks, so even if you have not had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you simply won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will enable you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains simultaneously. Additionally we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point 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 forward the domain to their system. Different from other companies, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each and every domain address which is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a specific domain and to verify if they are the ones that are required for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to control any domain name easily even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain address under which they are created, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host within the exact same account. This option is very beneficial if you have clients 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 absolutely free.
