The Name Servers of a domain reveal the DNS servers that are responsible for its DNS records. The IP of the website (A record), the mail server that takes care of the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), directing (CNAME record) etc are taken from the DNS servers of the web hosting provider and for any domain address to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you want to open an Internet site, for example, and you enter the URL, the web browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain address and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the webhosting provider where the A record of the web site is retrieved, so that you can see the content from the correct location. Commonly a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is simply visual.

The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains simultaneously. We give you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to forward the domain name 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 to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
