The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name 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 instance, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for every domain name that is registered through us could be changed with no more than a few clicks via the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a particular domain address and to determine if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain name effortlessly even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host inside the same account. This feature is very useful if you have customers of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is free of charge.
