The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular hosting provider for your domain is the most effective way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etcetera, so, in case you wish to change any one of these records, you will be able to do it by using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers that 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 you are attempting to access. In this way the web site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any functional difference between the two prefixes, so which one a hosting provider will use depends solely on their preference.
NS Records in Web Hosting
When you use a web hosting from our us and you include a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to control its NS records easily via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a group of domains at the same time with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to manage your domain even if it's the first you have ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you'll 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 every provider that you want the new NS records to point to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for each domain that's registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few clicks from the sophisticated, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel 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 name to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to manage any domain address with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host in the very same account. This option is very handy if you have customers of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
