The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered inside a cloud web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of many domain names at the same time when you would like to point them all to the same webhosting provider. The very same steps will also allow you to direct newly transferred domains to our platform since the transfer process doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still forward to the old host. If you wish to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company web site, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account too, not only the one they're created for.
