The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want 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 redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered within a website hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you only moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of numerous domain names simultaneously when you would like to point them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domains to our platform given that the transfer process doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domains will still direct to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company web site, for example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain address to the same account too, besides the one they're created for.
