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 computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. In this way 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 website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every single domain address has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

If you use a shared website hosting plan from our us and you add a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you'll be able to control its NS records effortlessly via the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for many domain names simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to manage your domain address even if it's the first you have ever registered. It takes just a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to forward a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you will even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you'd like the new NS records to point to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you invest in a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you're going to be able to control the NS records of each domain address registered within it easily. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, comes with a very simple and intuitive interface. The section in which you will find your domain names isn't an exception, so even if you have not had a domain address and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a couple of clicks. You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers each of your domains uses right now and if they're the ones needed to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your web site, particularly when it is a business one, and you can use these name servers for any other domain name that you might want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
