The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain address is the most convenient way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled 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, if you wish to modify any one of these records, you're going to be able to do it by using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain 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 obtain the DNS records of the domain you are trying to reach. This way the website that you're going to see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting products, allows you to handle the name servers of every domain address registered through our company with simply a few clicks, so even when you have never had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names all at once. Additionally we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain name registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to forward the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for each domain address that's registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few clicks via the innovative, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as easy to see the current NS records for a given domain name and to determine if they are the ones that are needed for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to handle any domain address easily even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may even 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 name that you would like to host inside the very same account. This option is very beneficial when you have customers of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is free of charge.
