The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain address is the easiest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etcetera, so, in case you want to edit any of these records, you are going to be able to do it by using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain show the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain name you are attempting to access. In this way the web site you will see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain address has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a hosting provider will use depends exclusively on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
If you register a domain name inside a shared website hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to manage its name servers with ease. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a couple of mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain addresses simultaneously, which could save you a lot of time and efforts if you have a lot of domains that you would like to forward to another service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. Additionally we enable you to set up private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered via our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.
