The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, reveal which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the most convenient way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etc, if you would like to change any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it by using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to access. In this way the website that you will see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider will use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
In case you register a domain name in a cloud web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to take care of its name servers easily. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with only a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain addresses at a time, which will save you considerable time and efforts if you have a large number of domains that you'd like to redirect to another service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Furthermore we permit you to set up private name servers for each Internet domain registered via our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs in particular, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you register a new domain name within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any difficulties even if you have never had a domain of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have multiple domain names inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they are the proper ones or not in order for the domain name to be directed to the account which you have on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to create private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for every other one that you intend to point to our cloud platform.
