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 selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to 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 IP and the website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Every domain address has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Web Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a shared web hosting account from our company, you'll be able to manage its name servers easily. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain addresses at a time, which will save you time and efforts when you have a lot of domains that you would like to forward to another provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. We also allow you to create private name servers for every single Internet domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The new NS records can be used to direct any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain address in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any problems even if you have never had a domain name 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 multiple domain names inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which could save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the proper ones or not in order for the domain name to be pointed to the account that you have got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to set up private name servers under any domain name registered within the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you want to point to our cloud platform.
