The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out 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 simplest way to forward 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), and so on, if you wish to modify some of these records, you're going to be able to do it via their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain point out 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 Internet domain you are attempting to access. This way the site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least 2 NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider is going to use depends entirely on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain registered inside a cloud website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you just seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain, but even of multiple domains at the same time whenever you would like to point them all to the same website hosting provider. The very same steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domain addresses to our platform as the transfer process will not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still direct to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company web site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain name to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a new domain address in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you haven't had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, provided with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have a number of domain names in the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which will save you quite a lot of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the correct ones or not as a way for the domain name to be pointed to the account that you have on our sophisticated cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to create private name servers under any domain registered in the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for every other one that you wish to direct to our cloud platform.
