The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that handles 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 hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the Internet 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 hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, so that you can look at 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 distinction between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

If you use a Linux shared website hosting package from our company and you include a new domain name within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to control its NS records with ease via the Hepsia web hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for several domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to handle your domain even if it's the first you have ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of every provider that you would like the new NS records to forward to.
