The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that deals with the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs 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 and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia CP, which comes with our hosting products, will enable you to deal with the name servers of every single domain registered through us with just a few clicks, so even though you may have not had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you will not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. We also give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to redirect the domain to their system. Different from other companies, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.
