The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted 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 has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, 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 provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so that you can view the content from the right location. Usually a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

The innovative Hepsia CP, offered with with our shared web hosting plans, will allow you to manage the name servers of every domain address registered through us with simply a few clicks, so even when you have never had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. Additionally we give you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain name registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you are 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 company if you will use the new records to point the domain name to their system. Unlike other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
