The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a site, for instance, and you type the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so you can see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared website hosting plans, will allow you to handle the name servers of any domain name registered through us with only a few mouse clicks, so even if you have never had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domains simultaneously. We also give you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to forward the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to direct the domain to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
