The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain is the simplest way to direct 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), etc, so if you would like to modify any of these records, you are going to be able to do it via their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers that 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. In this way the web site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company will use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting packages, will permit you to take care of the name servers of each and every domain registered through our company with only a few 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, has a very user-friendly interface and it will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains all at once. We provide you with the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple 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 direct the domain address to their system. Different from other providers, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, that will help you handle your domains without difficulty even if you have not used a hosting account or a domain address up to now. Changing the NS records for each and every domain name registered using our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are right or not as to forward that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and requires just several clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names as a part of the free DNS control services that we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain address which you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature will give you more credibility as a business.
