The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain 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), etc, so, in case you would like to modify any of these records, you are going to be able to do it through their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address point out the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain you are trying to access. In this way the web site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least two NS records. There isn't any functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a website hosting provider will use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Web Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, which comes with our web hosting products, will enable you to take care of the name servers of any domain registered through our company with simply a couple of clicks, so even when you have not had a web hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses together. Additionally we offer you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to point 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 point the domain address to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, which will permit you to handle your domains effortlessly even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain in the past. Changing the NS records for each and every domain name registered with our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to point that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and requires as little as several mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as part of the free DNS administration services which we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain which you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their web sites, employing this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
