The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained 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 website, for example, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so you can see the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain address has a couple of 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

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with very user-friendly interface, that will permit you to handle your domain addresses with ease even if you have never used a web hosting account or a domain before. Changing the NS records for each and every domain registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to point that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and requires as little as several mouse clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain names as an element of the free DNS management services that we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain name that you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature will give you much more credibility as a business.
