The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, indicate which servers manage the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain name is the easiest way to point 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), etc, if you want to edit any of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name reveal the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you attempt to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the Internet domain you are trying to access. This way the web site that you're going to see is going to be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain name has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends exclusively on their preference.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered inside a shared hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you merely moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of multiple domain addresses at the same time whenever you need to point them all to the same hosting company. The very same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer procedure doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company website, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain to the same account as well, not only the one they are created for.
