The Name Servers of a domain name show the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The Internet protocol address of the web site (A record), the mail server that deals with the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the web 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 want to open a site, 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 pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, so you can look at the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain address has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is only visual.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
Controlling the NS records for any domain registered inside a cloud website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of numerous domains at once when you need to point them all to the same hosting provider. The exact same steps will also allow you to point newly transferred domains to our platform since the transfer procedure is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still direct to the old host. If you would like to create private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to 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, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain name to the same account too, not just the one they're created for.
