The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
Taking care of the NS records for any domain address registered inside a shared hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of many domains at the same time if you want to point them all to the same webhosting provider. The exact same steps will also allow you to direct newly transferred domains to our platform because the transfer process is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domains will still redirect to the old host. If you want to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you will be able to do that with only a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, as an example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain address to the same account as well, besides the one they're created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to handle the NS records of each domain address registered in it easily. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can deal with everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section in which you will find all of your domain names is not an exception, so even if you have never had a domain name and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a several clicks. You'll also be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain addresses uses at the moment and if they're the ones required to forward that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your web site, especially when it is a business one, and you could use these name servers for every other domain address that you'd like to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
