The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting provider 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 want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you type in the URL, the 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 provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

If you use a web hosting plan from our company and you add a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to manage its NS records easily via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for many domain names at a time with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain even if it is the first you have ever registered. It requires simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you will be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have a number of domain names within the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain uses and if they are the right ones or not in order for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you have got on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not only for that domain address, but also for every other one that you wish to direct to our cloud platform.
