The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for example, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud web hosting plans, allows you to control the name servers of every single domain name registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may have never had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to change the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names together. Additionally we provide you with the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain name registered within 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 forward 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 forward the domain to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will be able to handle the NS records of each domain name registered in it without difficulty. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool for you to control everything associated with your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find your domains isn't an exception, so even if you have never had a domain name and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a few clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain addresses uses currently and if they're the ones required to point that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an added 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, particularly if it is a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain address that you would like to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
