The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within a web browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address should be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the appropriate mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each domain address has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
If you register a domain name in a shared website hosting account from our company, you will be able to manage its name servers easily. This is done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and with just a couple of clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domain names at once, which can save you considerable time and efforts if you have a large number of domain names that you would like to point to another service provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. Furthermore we enable you to set up private name servers for every single Internet domain registered using our company and unlike many other companies we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to redirect any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for instance, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for every domain name which is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few clicks through the leading-edge, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a particular domain and to determine if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain 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 handle any domain address effortlessly even if you have never dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can 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 are set up, but also for any other domain address that you would like to host inside the exact same account. This feature is very useful if you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
