NS Records

The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular hosting provider for your domain name is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, so, in case you need to modify some of these records, you're going to be able to do it through their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain reveal the DNS servers that 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 want to access. That way the site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There isn't any functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider will use depends solely on their preference.

: NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

When you use a shared web hosting service from our us and you register a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to control its NS records easily through the Hepsia web hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for a group of domain names at a time with several clicks. This is done through 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 even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It takes merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain 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 domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any provider that you want the new NS records to direct to.; NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain address within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you will be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you have never had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have many domain addresses in the account, you will be able to update all of them at the same time, which can save you a great deal of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain name uses and if they're the right ones or not for the domain name to be pointed to the account that you have got on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will enable you to set up private name servers under any domain registered in the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
