The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the website (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the website hosting provider and for any Internet domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open an Internet site, for example, and you type the URL, the web 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 provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to see the content from the right location. Commonly a domain has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a shared hosting account from our company, you'll be able to handle its name servers easily. This is done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains at the same time, which will save you considerable time and efforts when you have a large number of domain names you want to forward to another service provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. We enable you to set up private name servers for each Internet domain registered via our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for instance, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
