The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the right location. Normally a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Website Hosting
When you use a Linux website hosting from our company and you register a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a number of domain names at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires just a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you register a new domain address in 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 difficulties even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domain names within the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at once, which can save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they are the proper ones or not for the domain name to be directed to the account which you have on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to create private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you want to point to our cloud platform.
