The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, so you can look at the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain 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 Cloud Website Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, offered with with our cloud website hosting packages, will permit you to take care of the name servers of every domain registered through our company with just a few mouse clicks, so even if you have not had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you will not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names all at once. We offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain address registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to forward the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to point the domain to their system. Unlike other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
