The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the range of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address 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 and the website content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the emails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
When you use a shared hosting plan from our company and you register a new domain address inside the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to manage its NS records with ease through the Hepsia hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts. You are able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain address or even for several domains at the same time with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to handle your domain name even if it is the first you have ever registered. It takes simply a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any provider that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for each and every domain name that's registered through our company may be changed with no more than a few clicks using the innovative, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to view the current NS records for a given domain and to check if they are the ones that are required for the domain name to be forwarded 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 name with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you want, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not just for the domain under which they are set up, but also for any other domain that you might want to host within the same account. This feature is very useful if you have clients of your own and you wish their web sites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
