The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you enter the URL, the 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain registered in a website hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not just of one domain address, but even of many domain names at the same time when you need to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform because the transfer procedure will not change the name servers automatically and the domains will still direct to the old host. If you need 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 mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company website, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain to the same account too, not only the one they're created for.
