The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (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), directing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Website Hosting
When you use a Linux website hosting from our company and you add a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to control its NS records easily using the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domains at once with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to handle your domain name even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each provider that you'd like the new NS records to point to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a new domain address in 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 difficulties even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have multiple domains inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which could save you lots of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they are the right ones or not in order for the domain name to be directed to the account which you have on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for every other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
