The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a specific host company for your domain is the easiest way to forward 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 on, so if you wish to edit any of these records, you are going to be able to do it by using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address show the DNS servers which 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 are trying to access. In this way the web site that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no functional difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company will use depends exclusively on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
If you register a domain name inside a shared website hosting account from our company, you will be able to take care of its name servers without difficulty. This is done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with only a few mouse clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even several domain names at the same time, which will save you considerable time and efforts if you have a huge number of domains that you'd like to forward to an alternative service provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Additionally we enable you to create private name servers for each Internet domain registered through our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
