The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, allowing you to see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our web hosting plans, will permit you to handle the name servers of each and every domain name registered through our company with simply a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. We offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to direct the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to point the domain address to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
