The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so you can look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our cloud web hosting plans, will permit you to manage the name servers of every single domain name registered through us with simply a couple of clicks, so even when you have not had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses together. We give you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to point the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you're going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any problems even if you have never had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, included with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have a number of domain addresses within the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which can save you a great deal of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers which a domain uses and if they're the right ones or not in order for the domain name to be forwarded to the account that you have got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also enable you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
