The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain name is the easiest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to 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 on, so if you need to modify any one of these records, you'll be able to do it through their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address 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 get the DNS records of the domain name you want to access. This way the website that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a web hosting provider is going to use depends only on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
If you use a cloud hosting from our company and you include a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to handle its NS records effortlessly through the Hepsia website hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for several domain addresses at a 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 is going to make it easy to handle your domain even if it is the first you have ever registered. It takes merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, that will help you manage your domains with ease even when you have not used a web hosting account or a domain name up to now. Changing the NS records for each domain registered through our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are accurate or not as to direct that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and requires as little as several mouse clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names as an element of the free DNS administration services which we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for each and every domain name you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature is going to give you much more credibility as a business.
