The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so 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 distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our website hosting plans, will permit you to handle the name servers of each domain name registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you have not had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domains simultaneously. We also offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to point the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to redirect the domain to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
