The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain name is the most effective way to point 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 forth, if you wish to edit any of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address show 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 name you are attempting to access. In this way the web site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least 2 NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a hosting provider will use depends entirely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a cloud web hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to handle its name servers easily. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domain names simultaneously, which could save you time and efforts if you have a lot of domains that you'd like to point to a different provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. Additionally we permit you to create private name servers for every domain address registered using our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any problems even if you have never had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have multiple domain addresses in the account, you're going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which could save you quite a lot of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain uses and if they are the proper ones or not as a way for the domain to be pointed to the account that you have on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also allow you to create private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you want to point to our cloud platform.
