The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the group of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the emails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so you're able to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every single domain address has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting

If you use a Linux cloud website hosting from our us and you register a new domain address in the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you will be able to handle its NS records with ease through the Hepsia web hosting CP, provided with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domain addresses at a time with several mouse clicks. This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to manage your domain even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It takes simply a mouse click to see what name servers a domain address uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain address to the hosting space on our end and with a few mouse clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each and every domain which is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks from the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to view the current NS records for a particular domain name and to check if they are the ones that are needed for the domain address 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 control any domain name with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they're created, but also for any other domain address that you might want to host inside the exact same account. This option is very beneficial if you have customers of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
