The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
If you register a domain name in a cloud web hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to manage its name servers with ease. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with just a few mouse clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even multiple domains at once, which will save you considerable time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses you want to redirect to an alternative service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. In addition we allow you to set up private name servers for each and every domain registered through our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for instance, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you register a new domain in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you are going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues even if you have never had a domain of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, provided with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have multiple domains in the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which will save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they are the proper ones or not as a way for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you've got on our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also enable you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
