The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for instance, and you insert the URL, the Internet 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 obtained, enabling you to see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain 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 Hosting

If you register a domain name in a hosting account from our company, you'll be able to take care of its name servers without difficulty. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domains at once, which could save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a huge number of domains that you would like to direct to a different provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. We also allow you to create private name servers for each and every domain name registered using our company and in contrast to many other companies we do not charge anything extra for this service. The new NS records can be used to direct any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs in particular, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
