The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain name is the easiest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will be taken care of on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), and so on, if you want to edit any of these records, you'll 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 try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the domain you want to access. In this way the web site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what type a website hosting provider will use depends solely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
In the event you register a domain name inside a shared hosting account from our company, you'll be able to handle its name servers without difficulty. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domain addresses simultaneously, which can save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a lot of domain names that you'd like to forward to a different provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Furthermore we permit you to set up private name servers for every single domain name registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
