The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain name 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 enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Ordinarily a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Website Hosting
If you register a domain name in a website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers without difficulty. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain names at once, which could save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses that you would like to redirect to a different provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Furthermore we enable you to create private name servers for every single domain name registered through our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to control the NS records of every domain registered in it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is essentially an all-in-one tool for you to handle everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where you will find your domains isn't an exception, so even if you have not had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain addresses uses presently and if they're the ones required to point that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we present you with opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com 100% free. This will give more credibility to your site, especially when it's a business one, and you may use these name servers for any other domain name that you would like to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
