The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you insert the URL, the 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 site is retrieved, allowing you to view the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our shared website hosting products, allows you to handle the name servers of any domain address registered through our company with just a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domains together. We also give you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain 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 will use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. Unlike other providers, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
