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 group of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within 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 name must be retrieved. With this 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 site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are used, so you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

The innovative Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared web hosting products, will enable you to control the name servers of any domain registered through our company with just a couple of clicks, so even though you may have never had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you will not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses together. We also give you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - 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 company if you will use the new records to point the domain address to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you will be able to update its NS records as needed without any troubles even if you have not had a domain address of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domain names inside the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which can save you a great deal of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the proper ones or not for the domain to be directed to the account which you have on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will permit you to create private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not only for that domain, but also for any other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
