NS Records

Learn what NS records are, what is their job and why every single domain needs them so as to function effectively.

The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

When you use a Linux website hosting package from our us and you register a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to handle its NS records with ease through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domain names at a time with several clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to control your domain name even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It takes just a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.
