The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain name is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etcetera, so if you would like to edit any one of these records, you are going to 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 domain name you are attempting to access. In this way the site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There isn't any practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
If you use a Linux cloud package from our us and you include a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia website hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain addresses at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to control your domain address even if it's the first you've ever registered. It requires merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each company that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for every domain that is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as easy to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to verify if they're the ones that are required for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to handle any domain address with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain address under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host within the very same account. This option is very useful when you have customers of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
