The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet 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 enter the URL, the 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the right location. Commonly a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain name registered in a web hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you're going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain address, but even of several domains at once whenever you want to point them all to the same webhosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to direct newly transferred domain names to our platform as the transfer procedure does not change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company web site, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain name to the same account as well, not just the one they're created for.
