The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input 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 company where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the proper location. Usually a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

If you register a domain name within a shared website hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers with ease. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with only a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even several domain addresses at a time, which can save you time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses that you would like to point to a different provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Additionally we permit you to create private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered with our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs in particular, all domain addresses included in 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'll be able to control the NS records of every domain address registered in it effortlessly. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can control everything related to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section in which you will find all your domains isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a several clicks. You'll also be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain addresses uses presently and if they are the ones required to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly if it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain that you might want to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
