The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you type in the URL, the 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 website is obtained, so you can look at the content from the proper location. Usually a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In case you register a domain name in a shared hosting account from our company, you'll be able to handle its name servers with ease. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with only a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domains simultaneously, which can save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a large number of domain addresses that you'd like to forward to a different provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. In addition we permit you to set up private name servers for every single Internet domain registered using our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to point any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for example, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each and every domain address that's registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few clicks from the innovative, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain and to determine if they're the ones that are needed for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to control any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the exact same account. This option is very useful if you have customers of your own and you wish their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
