The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain name is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed 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 forth, so, in case you would like to edit some of these records, you'll be able to do it via their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to get the DNS records of the domain name you want to access. In this way the web site that you will see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain address has at least two NS records. There isn't any practical difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider is going to use depends solely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain registered within a shared web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you only seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you're going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain, but even of many domain names simultaneously whenever you need to point them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to direct newly transferred domain names to our platform since the transfer procedure does not change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a couple of mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company site, as an example, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain name to the same account as well, not just the one they're created for.
