The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can look at the content from the right location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our shared hosting plans, will permit you to manage the name servers of each and every domain registered through our company with only a few clicks, so even when you haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you simply won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names simultaneously. We also give you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to point the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to forward the domain address to their system. Different from other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a given domain name and to verify if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to manage any domain name effortlessly even if you have never 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 just for the domain address under which they are created, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host inside the very same account. This option is very handy if you have customers of your own and you wish their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is free of charge.
