The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain is the simplest way to direct 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 if you would like to modify any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it via their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name show 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 you are attempting to access. This way the site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain has at least 2 NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company will use depends exclusively on their preference.

NS Records in Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers easily. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain names simultaneously, which can save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a huge number of domain names you want to redirect to an alternative service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. In addition we permit you to create private name servers for each and every domain registered via our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
