The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address should 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 web site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be forwarded to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each and every domain address has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered within a shared hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of many domain addresses at once if you intend to point them all to the same website hosting provider. The exact same steps will also permit you to direct newly transferred domains to our platform given that the transfer procedure will not change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain name registered on our end, you will be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company web site, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain address to the same account too, not only the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you register a new domain name inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you are going to be able to update its NS records as required without any troubles even if you have never had a domain name of your own before. The process takes several mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, included with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have several domain addresses in the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which will save you lots of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they are the correct ones or not for the domain name to be pointed to the account that you have got on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to set up private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for every other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
