The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the range of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain 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 website content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every single Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, offered with with our shared web hosting products, allows you to take care of the name servers of every single domain name registered through us with just a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may haven't had a hosting plan or a domain name before, you simply won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses together. Additionally we give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to point the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a new domain in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any problems even if you have never had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domain names inside the account, you are going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which can save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers which a domain uses and if they are the right ones or not for the domain name to be directed to the account which you have on our leading-edge cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will allow you to create private name servers under any domain address registered within the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for every other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
