The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you type in the URL, the Internet 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 company where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a new domain address in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any troubles even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, included with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many domain addresses in the account, you are going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which can save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they're the correct ones or not for the domain name to be pointed to the account that you've got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to set up private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for every other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
