The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain address is the easiest way to point 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), and so forth, if you wish to modify some of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the Internet domain you are attempting to access. That way the site that you're going to see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company is going to use depends exclusively on their preference.

NS Records in Website Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our website hosting packages, allows you to take care of the name servers of each and every domain name registered through us with just a couple of clicks, so even though you may haven't had a hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to change the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domains all at once. In addition we offer you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered in 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 point the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to point the domain address to their system. In contrast to other providers, we do not charge more 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're going to be able to handle the NS records of every domain name registered inside it easily.

You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domains uses right now and if they are the ones needed to forward that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we present you with opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your site, especially when it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain that you might want to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
