The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain must be retrieved. That way a web 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 detects which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each and every Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Web Hosting
The avant-garde Hepsia CP, included with with our web hosting products, will permit you to take care of the name servers of any domain name registered through our company with just a few mouse clicks, so even if you have never had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to change the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. We give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to direct the domain to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for any domain that is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks from the innovative, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain and to verify if they are the ones that are required 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 allow you to manage any domain address with ease even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain address under which they're set up, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the exact same account. This feature is very useful when you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
