The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for instance, 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 web site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain 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 Web Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our web hosting plans, will allow you to handle the name servers of each domain registered through our company with simply a few clicks, so even though you may have never had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names simultaneously. In addition we provide you with the chance to set up 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 IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to forward the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to point the domain to their system. Unlike other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
