The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails 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 provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for example, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the right location. Usually a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our shared web hosting packages, will permit you to deal with the name servers of any domain name registered through us with only a couple of clicks, so even though you may have never had a website hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names together. Additionally we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to 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'll use the new records to direct the domain to their system. Different from other providers, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
