The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, 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 address is the most convenient way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will 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, in case you would like to edit some of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to reach. This way the website that you're going to see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider will use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Website Hosting
If you use a website hosting from our company and you include a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to handle its NS records with ease via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for several domains at once with several 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 simple to control your domain even if it's the first you have ever registered. It requires merely a click to see what name servers a domain address 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 few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for each domain address that is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the advanced, though easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain name and to verify if they're the ones that are necessary 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 handle any domain easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have clients of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
