The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain name is the easiest way to point 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), and so forth, so, in case you need to edit some of these records, you're going to be able to do it via their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the Internet domain you are attempting to reach. That way the site that you will see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least two NS records. There's no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider will use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Website Hosting
If you use a website hosting service from our company and you include a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you are going to be able to handle its NS records easily using the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for a group of domain addresses at once with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to control your domain even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires 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 address to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every provider 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 very user-friendly interface, that will allow you to handle your domains easily even when you have not used a hosting account or a domain address before. Changing the NS records for each domain name registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to direct that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and requires as little as a few clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under every one of your domains 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 each and every domain name which you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, employing this feature is going to give you a lot more credibility as a business.
