The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web 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), forwarding (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any domain name 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 type in 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 webhosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

In the event you register a domain name in a cloud website hosting account from our company, you will be able to control its name servers with ease. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a couple of clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains at a time, which will save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a lot of domain names you want to redirect to an alternative provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. We also allow you to create private name servers for every single domain name registered through our company and in contrast to many other providers we do not charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain names as an element of the free DNS management services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com.
