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 handles the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth 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 has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you type 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 hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so you can view the content from the right location. Normally a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

The innovative Hepsia CP, included with with our website hosting packages, will allow you to take care of the name servers of each domain registered through our company with just a few mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll allow you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names all at once. We provide you with the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to forward the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
