The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for example, and you input the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is obtained, allowing you to view the content from the right 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 only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our shared hosting packages, will enable you to manage the name servers of each and every domain address registered through our company with simply a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may have never had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any issues. 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 address or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. Additionally we provide you with the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered inside 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 direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to direct the domain name to their system. In contrast to other companies, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
