The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the 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), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for example, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is just visual.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
In the event you register a domain name in a shared web hosting account from our company, you will be able to handle its name servers with ease. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a couple of mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domains at once, which can save you time and efforts when you have a huge number of domain names that you would like to point to an alternative provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. Additionally we enable you to create private name servers for every domain registered via our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
