The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the group of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside an Internet browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address 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 site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are used, so you're able to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every Internet domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

If you register a domain name inside a cloud web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to manage its name servers with ease. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain addresses at once, which can save you a lot of time and efforts when you have a large number of domain addresses you want to redirect to an alternative service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. We permit you to create private name servers for every Internet domain registered using our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each and every domain that is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few clicks through the innovative, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain and to check if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to control any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they are created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host inside the exact same account. This option is very handy when you have clients of your own and you want their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
