The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a 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 address must be retrieved. That way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every Internet domain has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, included with with our cloud website hosting packages, will permit you to handle the name servers of every single domain registered through our company with only a few clicks, so even when you have not had a web hosting plan or a domain before, you won't encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. We also provide you with the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to forward the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to point the domain to their system. Unlike other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for any domain that's registered through us could be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the sophisticated, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a specific domain name and to determine if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to manage any domain address effortlessly even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they are set up, but also for any other domain address that you'd like to host within the very same account. This option is very handy when you have clients of your own and you want their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
