The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific hosting provider for your domain address is the simplest way to forward it to their system and all its sub-records will 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 if you wish to edit some of these records, you are going to be able to do it via their system. To put it differently, 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 Internet domain you want to reach. This way the site that you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain address has at least 2 NS records. There's no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company will use depends only on their preference.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain registered inside a cloud web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain, but even of several domain addresses at once when you need to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. The very same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domains to our platform as the transfer procedure isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still forward to the old host. If you want to create private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account as well, besides the one they're created for.
