The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so forth are taken from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you type the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then redirected to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the website is obtained, enabling you to view the content from the right location. Usually a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is only visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain registered inside a shared hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you merely seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of numerous domains at once whenever you intend to forward them all to the same website hosting provider. The exact same steps will also allow you to direct newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer process isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domains will still forward to the old host. If you wish to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with only a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company web site, as an example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account also, besides the one they are created for.
