The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the right location. Normally a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting products, will allow you to manage the name servers of each domain address registered through us with simply a couple of clicks, so even if you have never had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domains all at once. Additionally we offer you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any 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 are going to use the child NS to point the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to forward the domain address to their system. Unlike other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
