The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, reveal 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 simplest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of 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 wish to edit some of these records, you will be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address 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 retrieve the DNS records of the Internet domain you are trying to reach. In this way the web site you'll see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a hosting provider will use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
If you register a domain name inside a shared hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to take care of its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domain addresses at once, which could save you time and efforts if you have a lot of domain names 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. We permit you to create private name servers for every single Internet domain registered with our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything extra 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 IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for example, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for every domain address that is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from the advanced, although 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 particular domain address and to determine if they are the ones that are needed for the domain name to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to manage any domain name easily even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host in the exact same account. This option is very handy if you have customers of your own and you want their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
