The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, indicate 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 simplest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so on, if you want to modify any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it by using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you want to access. In this way the web site that you'll see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting packages, will allow you to deal with the name servers of every single domain address registered through us with just a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domains all at once. We offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single 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 will use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. Different from other companies, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to manage the NS records of any domain name registered within it without difficulty. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can manage everything relevant to your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find all your domains isn't an exception, so even if you have not had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of clicks. You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain names uses currently and if they are the ones required to point that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com 100% free. This will give more credibility to your web site, especially when it is a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain address which you want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
