The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP address of the website (A record), the mail server that handles the emails for a domain name (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are obtained from the DNS servers of the web hosting company and for any domain to be using them and to be forwarded to their hosting platform, it ought to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open an Internet site, for instance, and you input the URL, the web 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 site is retrieved, so that you can look at the content from the proper location. Ordinarily a domain name has 2 name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the distinction between the two is just visual.

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our cloud web hosting packages, will allow you to take care of the name servers of every domain address registered through us with just a few mouse clicks, so even though you may have never had a hosting plan or a domain before, you will not encounter any issues.

Additionally we provide you with the opportunity to set up 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 IPs - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to point the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to direct the domain name to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.
