The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain address is the easiest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of 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 forth, if you want to edit some of these records, you will be able to do it by using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address 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 name you are trying to reach. This way the site you will 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's no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a web hosting provider will use depends solely on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia CP, offered with with our shared hosting packages, allows you to deal with the name servers of each and every domain name registered through our company with simply a few clicks, so even when you haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. Additionally we provide you with the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain address registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. In contrast to other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you wish, you may even 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 set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the exact same account.
