The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the group of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the web site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each and every domain name has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Web Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain address registered within a web hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia CP, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of numerous domains simultaneously if you want to forward them all to the same hosting provider. The very same steps will also enable you to direct newly transferred domains to our platform given that the transfer procedure will not change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still forward to the old host. If you would like to create private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you will be able to do that with just a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company site, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every domain name which is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few clicks through the sophisticated, though 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 given domain name and to determine if they are the ones that are required for the domain name to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to handle any domain with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're created, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host within the same account. This feature is very useful when you have clients of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available totally free.
