The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain must be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every Internet domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

When you use a cloud website hosting from our company and you register a new domain name inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to manage its NS records effortlessly via the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain addresses at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain name even if it is the first one you've ever registered. It requires only a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a few mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any company that you want the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each and every domain address which is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a particular domain address and to check if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to control any domain name effortlessly even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are created, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host in the same account. This option is very beneficial when you have clients of your own and you wish their websites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
