The Name Servers of a domain name reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that takes care of the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) and so on are extracted from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for instance, and you type in the URL, the web 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 web site is obtained, so that you can see the content from the proper location. Usually a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
Taking care of the NS records for any domain registered inside a shared website hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you only moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain name, but even of multiple domain addresses simultaneously in case that you want to point them all to the same hosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform because the transfer procedure isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you want to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company website, as an example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account also, not just the one they're created for.
