The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, reveal which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain is the most convenient way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etcetera, if you wish to change some of these records, you will be able to do it using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address point out the DNS servers which 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 are trying to access. This way the website that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least 2 NS records. There's no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider is going to use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Hosting
Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered inside a hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain, but even of multiple domains at a time whenever you need to direct them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domains to our platform given that the transfer procedure is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with only a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company web site, as an example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain address to the same account as well, besides the one they're created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for every domain name which is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks from the sophisticated, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a specific domain name and to check if they're the ones that are needed for the domain to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to handle any domain name easily even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host within the exact same account. This option is very handy when you have customers of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
