The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for example, and you input 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 company where the A record of the website is obtained, so you can see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In case you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to handle its name servers with ease. This can be done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domain addresses at a time, which can save you time and efforts when you have a large number of domain names that you would like to point to a different service provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. Furthermore we allow you to set up private name servers for every single domain address registered using our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything extra for this service. The new NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you are going to be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have a number of domain addresses within the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they are the proper ones or not for the domain to be forwarded to the account that you have got on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to create private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for every other one that you want to point to our cloud platform.
