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 particular hosting provider for your domain address is the most effective 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 forth, so, in case you wish to change some of these records, you're going to be able to do it by using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address 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 retrieve the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to reach. That way the site that you're going to see will be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider is going to use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
When you use a Linux shared hosting plan from our us and you register a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you will be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for several domains at once with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to manage your domain even if it's the first you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you would like the new NS records to direct 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 manage the NS records of every domain name registered within it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can control everything related to your web presence, comes with a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section where 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 won't take you more than a few mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domains uses currently and if they're the ones required to point that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your site, particularly if it's a business one, and you could use these name servers for every other domain name that you might want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
