The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your computer asks the DNS servers world-wide 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 address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the website content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, allowing you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each domain address has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

If you register a domain name within a cloud web hosting account from our company, you'll be able to handle its name servers effortlessly. This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with just a couple of mouse clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously, which can save you considerable time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses that you would like to redirect to another provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. We allow you to create private name servers for each and every domain address registered through our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every single domain address that is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks from the advanced, though easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to see the current NS records for a specific domain address and to check if they're the ones that are required for the domain to be directed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to manage any domain effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host in the exact same account. This feature is very useful when you have customers of your own and you wish their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
