The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages 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 website hosting provider and for any domain address 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 a website, for example, and you type in the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain address 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 Cloud Hosting
The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting products, will allow you to manage the name servers of every single domain name registered through our company with only a couple of clicks, so even when you have not had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names all at once. We offer you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to forward the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to forward the domain address to their system. Different from other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
