The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, 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 pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, so you can look at the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our cloud website hosting packages, will permit you to control the name servers of each domain registered through us with just a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not 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 modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. In addition we offer you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to 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'll use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. In contrast to other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
