The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain is the easiest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled 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, if you wish to change some of these records, you're going to be able to do it using their system. Put simply, 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 obtain the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to reach. That way the website that you're going to see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least 2 NS records. There is no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting packages, will permit you to manage the name servers of every single domain registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you simply won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll allow you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domains together. We provide you with the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point 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 forward the domain address to their system. Different from other providers, we don't 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 control the NS records of any domain address registered in it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find your domain names is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of clicks. You're also going to have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each of your domains uses right now and if they're the ones needed to direct that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we present you with opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly if it is a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain address that you might want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
