The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to 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 requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) to ensure a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, allowing you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every single domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
When you use a shared web hosting from our company and you register a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from a different provider, you will be able to handle its NS records easily through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, offered with all shared accounts. You'll be able to change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for a number of domains simultaneously with several mouse clicks. This is done via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that's a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it easy to manage your domain address even if it is the first one you've ever registered. It takes merely a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with a few clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of each and every company that you would like the new NS records to direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are managed using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will enable you to handle your domain addresses easily even when you haven't used a web hosting account or a domain name up to now. Changing the NS records for each and every domain registered with our company, viewing the current ones and whether they are right or not as to forward that domain to our cloud hosting platform is also quite easy and takes as little as a couple of clicks. You will also be able to register child name servers under each and every one of your domain names as an element of the free DNS administration services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for each and every domain which you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you provide services to third-parties and host their sites, using this feature will give you a lot more credibility as a business.
