The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you enter the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address 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 see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

In the event you register a domain name within a web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to handle its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a couple of clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even multiple domain addresses at the same time, which will save you time and efforts if you have a large number of domains that you'd like to direct to a different provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We also enable you to create private name servers for each and every domain address registered using our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
