The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web 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), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so that you can view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia CP, included with with our hosting plans, allows you to handle the name servers of any domain name registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain address before, you simply won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to change the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. We give you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to direct the domain 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 to their system. Unlike other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
