The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain address is the simplest way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to 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 forth, so, in case you need to edit some of these records, you'll be able to do it by using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain address reveal 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 domain name you are attempting to access. This way the site you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is no practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider is going to use depends solely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting plans, allows you to take care of the name servers of every domain name registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. Additionally we offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct 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 to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for any domain address that's registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks via the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a specific domain and to verify if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain address to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to handle any domain effortlessly even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host within the same account. This option is very beneficial if you have clients of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is totally free.
