The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given host company for your domain is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of 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 want to edit some of these records, you'll be able to do it using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name reveal 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 you want to reach. This way the web site that you will see will be retrieved from the proper location. The name servers normally have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain name has at least two NS records. There is no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a web hosting provider will use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Hosting

When you use a Linux hosting from our us and you register a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to manage its NS records easily through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes 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 a group of domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to manage your domain address even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward 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 any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any company that you want the new NS records to forward to.
