The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for example, and you insert the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, allowing you to see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Hosting

When you use a Linux hosting from our company and you register a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to handle its NS records with ease through the Hepsia website hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for many domains at once with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to manage your domain name even if it's the first you have ever registered. It requires only a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you'd like the new NS records to point to.
