The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain is the simplest way to forward 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), etc, if you would like to modify any of these records, you will be able to do it via their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers which 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 Internet domain you are trying to access. This way the web site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider is going to use depends exclusively on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
The innovative Hepsia CP, included with with our cloud website hosting packages, will allow you to handle the name servers of any domain registered through our company with simply a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you have not had a hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names together. We also offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. In contrast to other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
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'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any troubles even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a couple of clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, included with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have many different domains inside the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which can save you a great deal of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the correct ones or not as a way for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you have got on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even allow you to set up private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for every other one that you want to point to our cloud platform.
