The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the web 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), directing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any 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 an Internet site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web 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 web site is obtained, so that you can look at 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 difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

When you use a Linux web hosting from our company and you add a new domain in the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you will be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domains at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to control your domain even if it is the first you've ever registered. It takes merely a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you would like the new NS records to point to.
