The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name 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 address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the website content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each domain name has a minimum of 2 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 inside a cloud web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to control its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with only a few clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domain addresses at the same time, which could save you time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain names that you'd like to direct to an alternative service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider provides you with. In addition we enable you to set up private name servers for any domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other companies we don't charge anything more for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to forward any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs for instance, all domains included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain name within a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you are going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any issues even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domains inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which will save you a lot of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they're the correct ones or not for the domain to be directed to the account that you've got on our innovative cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will even permit you to create private name servers under any domain name registered inside the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you intend to point to our cloud platform.
