The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the web site (A record), the mail server that manages the emails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it should have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for example, and you insert the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, enabling you to look at the content from the proper location. Commonly a domain name 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 Shared Web Hosting
When you use a shared web hosting from our company and you include a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you're going to be able to handle its NS records easily through the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for many domain addresses at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to control your domain even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It requires just a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of each and every company that you'd like the new NS records to direct to.
