The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on 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 has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can view the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud website hosting products, will allow you to control the name servers of every domain address registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you simply won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. Additionally we give you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every 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 will 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 forward the domain name to their system. Different from other providers, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.
