The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish 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 pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, enabling you to see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia CP, included with with our cloud hosting plans, will permit you to handle the name servers of each and every domain registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may have never had a web hosting plan or a domain name before, you won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. We give you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to forward the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to redirect the domain name to their system. Different from other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain name within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you will be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you haven't had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many domain addresses inside the account, you are going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which will save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the right ones or not as a way for the domain name to be directed to the account that you have got on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also enable you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
