The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want 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 and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can look at the content from the proper location. Normally a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our web hosting plans, will allow you to take care of the name servers of every domain name registered through our company with only a few mouse clicks, so even though you may have not had a web hosting plan or a domain address before, you will not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names together. We also offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to point the domain address 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 name to their system. Unlike other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
