The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the group of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address should be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every Internet domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a shared hosting plan from our us and you add a new domain address in the account or transfer an existing one from a different company, you're going to be able to handle its NS records with ease through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domain names at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to handle your domain even if it is the first one you've ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any company that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed through Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, that will permit you to handle your domain names with ease even if you have not used a hosting account or a domain address before. Changing the NS records for each domain registered with our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to point that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and takes just a few mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domains as an element of the free DNS administration services which we offer with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain name which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
