The Name Servers of a domain show the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be directed to their hosting platform, it has to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for instance, and you type the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the right location. Usually a domain name has a couple of name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the contrast between the two is simply visual.

The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to change the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names all at once. We also offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain name registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to point the domain name to their system. In contrast to other providers, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
