The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you type 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 company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the correct location. Normally 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 Website Hosting

In case you register a domain name in a website hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to manage its name servers easily. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domains simultaneously, which will save you a lot of time and efforts if you have a large number of domains that you would like to forward to an alternative provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. Furthermore we allow you to create private name servers for each domain registered using our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
