The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain name is the simplest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to 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, so if you want to edit any of these records, you will be able to do it via their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to reach. That way the website you will see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least 2 NS records. There's no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
If you use a shared hosting service from our company and you include a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to manage its NS records effortlessly via the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a group of domains at the same time with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to control your domain address even if it is the first one you've ever registered. It requires merely a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct 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 addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every provider that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for each and every domain that is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the innovative, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to see the current NS records for a particular domain name and to determine if they are the ones that are needed for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to handle any domain address effortlessly even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host within the very same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is absolutely free.
