The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you type the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the right location. Commonly a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our shared hosting plans, will allow you to deal with the name servers of any domain name registered through us with just a couple of clicks, so even if you have never had a hosting plan or a domain name 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'll permit you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains simultaneously. In addition we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to point the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each domain that's registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the innovative, though easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain and to verify if they're the ones that are needed for the domain name to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to control any domain name with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain address under which they're created, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have customers of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
