The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for example, and you type the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the website is obtained, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to handle its name servers with ease. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with only a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domain names simultaneously, which will save you considerable time and efforts when you have a large number of domains that you would like to redirect to an alternative service provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. Additionally we enable you to set up private name servers for any domain address registered using our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't 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 IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
