The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, point out which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain address is the most convenient way to direct 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), etcetera, so if you want to change any one of these records, you'll be able to do it via their system. In other words, 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 retrieve the DNS records of the domain name you want to access. In this way the web site you will see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each domain name has at least 2 NS records. There is no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a website hosting provider is going to use depends entirely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain name registered within a cloud hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you only moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain address, but even of several domain addresses simultaneously if you would like to direct them all to the same webhosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to direct newly transferred domains to our platform since the transfer process does not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with just a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company website, for example, it'll have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain to the same account also, not just the one they are created for.
