The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the correct location. Usually a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our web hosting packages, will enable you to handle the name servers of each and every domain address registered through our company with simply a couple of clicks, so even if you have never had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you will not encounter any difficulties.

In addition we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to point the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address within 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 needed without any issues even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, included with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have many domains in the account, you'll be able to update all of them at the same time, which will save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain uses and if they are the proper ones or not for the domain name to be directed to the account that you have got on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will allow you to create private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for every other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
