The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address 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) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, 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 forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the correct location. Usually a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our cloud web hosting plans, will allow you to manage the name servers of each and every domain address registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it will permit you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names simultaneously. We offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to forward the domain name 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 name to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
