The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, show which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a particular host company for your domain is the simplest way to direct it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be taken care of 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, so if you would like to modify any of these records, you're going to be able to do it by using their system. In other words, the NS records of a domain address 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 Internet domain you are attempting to access. That way the website you will see is going to be retrieved from the correct location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain has at least two NS records. There's no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so what type a host company is going to use depends solely on their preference.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia CP, offered with with our shared hosting packages, will enable you to manage the name servers of each and every domain address registered through our company with only a couple of clicks, so even if you have not had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you simply won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names simultaneously. We also give you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to direct the domain 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 address to their system. Different from other companies, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

You are also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain names as a part of the free DNS control services that we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com.
