The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the most convenient way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to 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 wish to edit any one of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to access. This way the website that you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least 2 NS records. There's no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
In the event you register a domain name inside a cloud web hosting account from our company, you will be able to handle its name servers with ease. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain addresses at once, which could save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a lot of domains you want to direct to an alternative provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. In addition we enable you to set up private name servers for every single domain registered via our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will help you manage your domain addresses effortlessly even if you have never used a web hosting account or a domain previously.

You're also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domains as an element of the free DNS management services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain address you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their sites, employing this feature will give you more credibility as a business.
