The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name should be retrieved. In this way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the web site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the emails for the domain (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is performed through the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The innovative Hepsia CP, which comes with our cloud hosting packages, allows you to deal with the name servers of any domain registered through us with only a few clicks, so even if you have not had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names all at once. We provide you with the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to point the domain to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

The name servers for each and every domain address which is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the leading-edge, though easy-to-use Hepsia CP that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to view the current NS records for a particular domain address and to determine if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to control any domain name with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you want, you may even 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're created, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the very same account. This option is very beneficial if you have clients of your own and you want their web sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available totally free.
