The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, reveal which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain address is the simplest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will 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 change any one of these records, you'll be able to do it through 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 try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the Internet domain you are trying to reach. This way the site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There's no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
If you use a Linux cloud website hosting from our us and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to control its NS records easily via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain names at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain name even if it's the first you have ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain 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 each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a new domain name in 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 difficulties even if you have not had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many domains in the account, you are going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you lots of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they're the proper ones or not in order for the domain address to be pointed to the account that you have on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even permit you to create private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for any other one that you would like to point to our cloud platform.
