The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show 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 within an Internet browser, your personal 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. In this way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Website Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain address registered in a website hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform will take you just moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of multiple domain names simultaneously whenever you would like to forward them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer procedure isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still redirect to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain name 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 in case you have a company web site, as an example, it will have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain address to the same account as well, not just the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with highly user-friendly interface, which will help you handle your domain addresses with ease even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain name in the past. Changing the NS records for each domain address registered through our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are correct or not as to forward that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and takes as little as several mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain addresses as a part of the free DNS control services we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for each and every domain address you accommodate in the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their websites, employing this feature is going to give you a lot more credibility as a business.
