The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (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), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, enabling you to see the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain address 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 Cloud Web Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a cloud web hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to control its name servers effortlessly. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with a few clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains simultaneously, which can save you a lot of time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses that you would like to point to a different service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. Additionally we enable you to create private name servers for every single domain registered through our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
