The Name Servers of a domain reveal 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 name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web 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 retrieved, so you can see the content from the correct location. Normally a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a Linux shared service from our us and you register a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you are going to be able to handle its NS records with ease using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domain names simultaneously with several clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to manage your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every company that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.
