The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, reveal which servers handle the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain name is the most effective way to point it to their system and all its sub-records will 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), etc, if you need to modify any of these records, you are going to be able to do it using their system. To put it differently, the NS records of a domain address reveal the DNS servers that are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to retrieve the DNS records of the domain you are trying to reach. That way the website that you're going to see will be retrieved from the right location. The name servers typically have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and each and every domain name has at least 2 NS records. There is absolutely no sensible difference between the two prefixes, so which one a website hosting provider is going to use depends completely on their preference.

The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses all at once. We provide you with the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to forward 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 redirect the domain address to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
