The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can view the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to handle its name servers effortlessly. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domain names at a time, which can save you considerable time and efforts when you have a large number of domains that you would like to redirect to an alternative provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. We allow you to create private name servers for each and every domain registered with our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs in particular, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, that will help you handle your domain addresses effortlessly even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain address previously.

You're also going to be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS administration services that we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature will give you far more credibility as a business.
