The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet 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, allowing you to see the content from the proper location. Normally a domain name has two 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

In the event you register a domain name in a website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers with ease. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a couple of mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even several domains simultaneously, which will save you time and efforts in case you have a lot of domain names that you'd like to direct to another provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Furthermore we permit you to create private name servers for every Internet domain registered through our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
