The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP address of the site (A record), the mail server that handles the e-mails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), pointing (CNAME record) etc are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting provider and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a site, for instance, and you input the URL, the browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain name and the request is then pointed to the DNS servers of the hosting provider where the A record of the site is retrieved, enabling you to see the content from the correct location. Usually a domain has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a shared hosting from our us and you add a new domain inside the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you'll be able to handle its NS records easily using the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domain names at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to handle your domain name even if it is the first you've ever registered. It requires just a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any provider that you would like the new NS records to forward to.
