The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that manage its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain address (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) and so on are obtained from the DNS servers of the website hosting company and for any domain address to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you would like to open a website, for example, and you enter the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the website is retrieved, enabling you to view the content from the correct location. Normally a domain has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our hosting products, will allow you to control the name servers of every single domain address registered through us with simply a few mouse clicks, so even if you have not had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you simply won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names simultaneously. We also offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to point the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

You will also be able to register child name servers under any of your domains as a part of the free DNS control services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com.
