The NS, or Name Server records of a domain name, point out which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain name is the easiest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to 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), and so forth, if you wish to change some of these records, you are going to be able to do it through their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers that 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 reach. In 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 every single domain name has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a website hosting provider is going to use depends solely on their preference.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered inside a cloud hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of multiple domains at the same time whenever you intend to direct them all to the same hosting provider. The very same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform for the reason that transfer process isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still forward to the old host. If you would like to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain to the same account as well, not just the one they are created for.
