The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain name is the most convenient way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will be handled on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etc, if you want to change any of these records, you'll be able to do it by using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to reach. In this way the site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain has at least 2 NS records. There isn't any sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our hosting plans, will permit you to control the name servers of every domain address registered through us with simply a few clicks, so even though you may haven't had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you will not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. We give you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain name registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. Unlike other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
