The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. With this a web 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 required from the proper location, a mail relay server discovers which server takes care of the emails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are used, so you're able to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. 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 Cloud Web Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain registered within a cloud web hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you merely moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of many domain addresses at the same time in case that you want to point them all to the same webhosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to direct newly transferred domain names to our platform given that the transfer procedure is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still direct to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company web site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to manage the NS records of every domain name registered within it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is basically an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and user-friendly interface. The section in which you will find all your domain addresses is not an exception, so even if you have never had a domain name and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a several clicks. You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domains uses presently and if they're the ones needed to point that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your website, especially if it's a business one, and you could use these name servers for any other domain name which you want to host inside the semi-dedicated account as well.
