The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you're going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any troubles even if you haven't had a domain address of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have multiple domain addresses within the account, you will be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you a lot of time and mouse clicks.

Hepsia will even enable you to set up private name servers under any domain name registered within the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for every other one that you intend to point to our cloud platform.
