The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain address is the simplest 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), and so on, so if you would like to change any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it via their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address point out the DNS servers which 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 name you are attempting to reach. This way the site you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There's no practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a host company will use depends entirely on their preference.

When you use a Linux cloud hosting from our us and you include a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you are going to be able to handle its NS records easily through the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a group of domain names at a time with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to handle your domain even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It takes merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you want the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, that will enable you to handle your domains with ease even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain before. Changing the NS records for any 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 quite easy and requires just several mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain names as part of the free DNS control services which we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain name that you accommodate within 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 a lot more credibility as a business.
