The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal 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 an Internet browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the web site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting

In the event you register a domain name in a cloud web hosting account from our company, you will be able to manage its name servers with ease. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with only a few clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even several domains at once, which will save you time and efforts in case you have a huge number of domain addresses that you'd like to forward to an alternative service provider. You can enter many name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. We also permit you to create private name servers for every domain registered using our company and unlike many other providers we do not charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for example, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will allow you to handle your domain names without difficulty even if you haven't used a hosting account or a domain address previously. Changing the NS records for each and every domain address registered using our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are accurate or not as to forward that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and requires just a couple of mouse clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under any of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS management services which we provide with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for any domain you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their web sites, using this feature will give you much more credibility as a business.
