The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can view the content from the correct location. Usually a domain address has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Web Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain name registered in a web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you will be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of multiple domain names at a time in case that you would like to point them all to the same website hosting provider. Identical steps will also permit you to point newly transferred domains to our platform given that the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domains will still point to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company site, as an example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain name to the same account also, not just the one they're created for.
