The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, included with with our shared hosting plans, will enable you to take care of the name servers of each domain registered through our company with just a couple of clicks, so even if you have never had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. In addition we offer you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to direct the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to forward the domain to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
