The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you input the URL, the web 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain address registered within a shared web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of multiple domains at a time when you intend to point them all to the same website hosting provider. Identical steps will also enable you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform since the transfer procedure does not change the name servers automatically and the domains will still redirect to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you will be able to do that with just a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if 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 forwarding any other domain name to the same account as well, besides the one they are created for.
