The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (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 Internet 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 want to open an Internet site, for example, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can view the content from the right location. Normally a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
When you use a shared hosting plan from our company and you add a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you will be able to manage its NS records easily via the Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a number of domains at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to handle your domain even if it is the first you have ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain address 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 few 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 direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you are going to be able to update its NS records as required without any problems 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, included with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domains in the account, you'll be able to update all of them simultaneously, which could save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they're the right ones or not for the domain to be pointed to the account that you've got on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to create private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not only for that domain address, but also for every other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
