The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain name is the most effective way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etcetera, so, in case you would like to change some of these records, you are going to be able to do it by using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to access. That way the site that you're going to see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least 2 NS records. There is no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends only on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain name registered inside a shared web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you will be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain, but even of multiple domains at once in case that you intend to point them all to the same website hosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform for the reason that transfer process will not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still redirect to the old host. If you wish to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company web site, as an example, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain address to the same account as well, not just the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for every single domain name that's registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to see the current NS records for a particular domain name and to check if they're the ones that are needed for the domain name to be forwarded 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 with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you might want to host inside the very same account. This feature is very handy when 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 totally free.
