The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Ordinarily a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia CP, included with with our cloud hosting products, will permit you to handle the name servers of each domain address registered through our company with simply a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you have not had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses together. We provide you with the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to forward the domain 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 address to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
