The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the 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 site, for example, and you enter the URL, the 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is obtained, so you can see the content from the proper location. Normally a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain name registered in a shared hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain address, but even of several domain addresses at the same time whenever you would like to direct them all to the same hosting company. The very same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform since the transfer process doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still forward to the old host. If you'd like to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain name to the same account also, not only the one they're created for.
