The Name Servers of a domain point out the DNS servers that deal with its DNS records. The IP of the site (A record), the mail server that manages the e-mails for a domain (MX records), any text record in free form (TXT record), forwarding (CNAME record) and so forth are extracted from the DNS servers of the hosting company and for any domain name to be using them and to be pointed to their hosting platform, it needs to have their name servers, or NS records. If you wish to open a website, for example, and you type the URL, the Internet browser connects to a DNS server, which keeps the NS records for the domain and the request is then forwarded to the DNS servers of the hosting company where the A record of the site is retrieved, allowing you to look at the content from the correct location. Usually a domain name has two name servers that start with NS or DNS as a prefix and the difference between the two is just visual.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to handle the NS records of every domain address registered inside it effortlessly. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section where you will find your domain addresses is not an exception, so even if you have never had a domain address and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domains uses presently and if they're the ones required to forward that domain to the semi-dedicated account.
