The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the website (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 on are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered within a website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of one domain name, but even of numerous domain names at the same time if you need to direct them all to the same hosting provider. The very same steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domain addresses to our platform since the transfer process doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still forward to the old host. If you want to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company website, for instance, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain name to the same account as well, not just the one they're created for.
