The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. That way 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 site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single 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 Shared Web Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain address registered in a shared web hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you only seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you're going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain name, but even of many domains simultaneously if you want to point them all to the same hosting company. The exact same steps will also enable you to direct newly transferred domain addresses to our platform for the reason that transfer process does not 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 address registered on our end, you will be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, for example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain address to the same account as well, not only the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for every domain address that's registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks using the sophisticated, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as easy to view the current NS records for a given domain address and to verify if they're the ones that are necessary 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 permit you to handle any domain effortlessly even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can even 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're created, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host in the exact same account. This feature is very beneficial when you have clients of your own and you wish their web sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available totally free.
