The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so you can view the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting plans, allows you to deal with the name servers of every single domain address registered through us with simply a few clicks, so even when you haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain address before, you won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to change the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses all at once. In addition we offer you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to forward the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for any domain which is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few clicks through the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to check if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to handle any domain name easily even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain address that you might want to host within the exact same account. This option is very useful if you have clients of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
