The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain address is the simplest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records will be handled 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 would like to modify any of these records, you will be able to do it by using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name 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 get the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to access. That way the web site that you're going to see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least two NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our cloud hosting packages, allows you to control the name servers of each and every domain registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses together. Additionally we give you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to direct the domain to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will permit you to manage your domains with ease even when you have not used a web hosting account or a domain address before. Changing the NS records for each and every domain name registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to direct that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and takes as little as a few clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain names as a part of the free DNS administration services we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for each and every domain name you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature will give you more credibility as a business.
