The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain address is the most effective way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will be taken care of 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 forth, so if you would like to edit any of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address point out 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 name you are trying to access. In this way the site you will see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider will use depends exclusively on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
When you use a shared website hosting plan from our company and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you're going to be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia web hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domains at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It takes simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every company that you would like the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any problems even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, provided with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have many different domain names within the account, you'll be able to update all of them simultaneously, which could save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the correct ones or not for the domain to be forwarded to the account that you have got on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to create private name servers under any domain name registered in the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for any other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
