The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the range of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address must be retrieved. With this a 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 site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every single domain address has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

If you use a shared hosting plan from our us and you add a new domain address within the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you are going to be able to control its NS records with ease via the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a group of domain names at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it easy to handle your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It requires merely a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to point a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a few mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain name inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you'll be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues 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, provided with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have multiple domains within the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which can save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers which a domain uses and if they're the proper ones or not in order for the domain address to be directed 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 any other one that you would like to direct to our cloud platform.
