The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then sent to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Normally a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain address registered in a cloud website hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you just seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia CP, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain, but even of multiple domain names at once if you would like to direct them all to the same hosting company. The very same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform since the transfer process is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you wish to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with only a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain to the same account as well, besides the one they're created for.
