The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you type the URL, the 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the right location. Usually a domain address has a couple of 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

In case you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to manage its name servers easily. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domains at a time, which could save you a lot of time and efforts if you have a huge number of domain names that you'd like to direct to an alternative provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. In addition we allow you to set up private name servers for each Internet domain registered with our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
