The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the correct location. Normally a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our cloud hosting plans, allows you to take care of the name servers of each and every domain name registered through our company with simply a few clicks, so even when you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains all at once. We also offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain address registered in 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 to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to direct the domain to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
