The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the correct location. Usually a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
When you use a Linux shared hosting from our company and you include a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you're going to be able to handle its NS records easily through the Hepsia website hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domain addresses at the same time with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to handle your domain name even if it is the first one you've ever registered. It takes simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with only a few mouse clicks more you will 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 every company that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, that will allow you to handle your domains easily even if you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain name in the past. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered through our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are correct or not as to point that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes only several mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain addresses as part of the free DNS management services we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain name that you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature will give you far more credibility as a business.
