The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address must be retrieved. This way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each and 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 Shared Hosting

Managing the NS records for any domain name registered within a shared hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you merely moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of numerous domain names at once if you want to forward them all to the same webhosting provider. Identical steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you wish to create private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with only a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain name to the same account too, not just the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for every single domain name that is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the innovative, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to view the current NS records for a given domain and to determine if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to handle any domain name with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you would 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 address under which they're created, but also for any other domain that you'd like to host inside the same account. This option is very beneficial when you have clients of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available 100 % free.
