The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain 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, so if you need to edit any of these records, you're going to be able to do it through their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name show 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 you are trying to access. That way the website that you're going to see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least two NS records. There isn't any functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared website hosting plans, will enable you to manage the name servers of every single domain name registered through our company with only a few mouse clicks, so even when you have never had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll allow you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses together. Additionally we give you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain address registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to direct the domain name to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for any domain address that's registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few clicks using the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a particular domain address and to determine if they're the ones that are required for the domain to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to manage any domain name effortlessly even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they are created, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host inside the very same account. This feature is very handy if you have customers of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
