The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you input 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 hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to see the content from the right location. Usually a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our cloud hosting products, will enable you to manage the name servers of every domain address registered through us with just a few clicks, so even when you have never had a hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it will enable you to change the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names together. We provide you with the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to forward the domain to their system. Different from other companies, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
