The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain address is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etc, if you wish to change some of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name show the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you want to reach. In this way the website you will see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain has at least two NS records. There is no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a web hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
If you register a domain name inside a shared website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to take care of its name servers with ease. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with only a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of one or even several domain names at the same time, which will save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain names you want to point to a different service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We also enable you to create private name servers for every domain registered using our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for instance, 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 administered through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will help you handle your domains effortlessly even if you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain name previously.

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