The Name Servers of a domain name point out the DNS servers that handle its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any Internet domain 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 site, for instance, and you type in 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 web site is obtained, so that you can look at the content from the right location. Commonly a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
When you use a Linux shared hosting package from our us and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to control its NS records effortlessly using the Hepsia website hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domains at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to handle your domain address even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It requires simply a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.
