The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain name is the easiest 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), and so on, if you need to modify any one of these records, you'll be able to do it through their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain you are attempting to access. This way the site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a host company is going to use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Hosting
When you use a hosting from our company and you add a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to control its NS records easily via the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a number of domains at the same time with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to manage your domain address even if it's 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 to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every company that you would like the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to control the NS records of each domain address registered in it with ease. The Hepsia CP, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can deal with everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section in which you will find all of your domains is not an exception, so even if you have never had a domain and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few clicks. You'll also be able to see with a glance what name servers each of your domain names uses right now and if they are the ones needed to forward that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your website, particularly if it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain address that you'd like to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
