The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (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 domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Normally a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
When you use a Linux cloud hosting package from our us and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you are going to be able to manage its NS records with ease via the Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for many domain names simultaneously with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to control your domain address even if it is the first you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each provider that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you register a new domain in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any troubles even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, included with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domain names within the account, you will be able to update all of them at once, which could save you lots of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they are the proper ones or not as a way for the domain name to be forwarded to the account that you've got on our leading-edge cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to set up private name servers under any domain registered in the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you would like to point to our cloud platform.
