The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web 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), pointing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for example, and you input the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the site is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the right 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 Cloud Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain registered in a cloud hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of multiple domain addresses at a time if you would like to direct them all to the same webhosting provider. Identical steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domains to our platform because the transfer process will not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still forward to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company web site, for example, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain address to the same account too, not only the one they're created for.
