The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain address (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 forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you type in the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, allowing you to view the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

If you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers easily. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with just a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domain addresses at the same time, which can save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a huge number of domain addresses that you would like to forward to another provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We permit you to create private name servers for every domain name registered using our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to redirect any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
