The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the range of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name should 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 Internet protocol address and the site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be forwarded to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain address registered within a shared website hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform is going to take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you will be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of many domain addresses simultaneously whenever you want to direct them all to the same website hosting provider. Identical steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform for the reason that transfer procedure won't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still direct to the old host. If you'd like to create private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you will be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, as an 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 name to the same account as well, not just the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for each domain name which is registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few clicks through the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to see the current NS records for a specific domain and to verify if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to allow you to control any domain name with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they're created, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the same account. This feature is very handy when you have clients of your own and you would like their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is totally free.
