The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

If you use a Linux cloud website hosting from our company and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to manage its NS records with ease using the Hepsia website hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domain addresses at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It takes merely a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every company that you want the new NS records to point to.
