The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the right location. Normally a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain registered in a cloud hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just seconds. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of many domains at the same time in case that you need to direct them all to the same hosting provider. Identical steps will also allow you to direct newly transferred domain addresses to our platform as the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to create private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with only a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, as an example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain to the same account too, not just the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for any domain address which is registered through us could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a particular domain address and to verify if they're the ones that are needed for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to manage any domain address easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host within the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have customers of your own and you want their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is absolutely free.
