The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name should be retrieved. In this way 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 web site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, allowing you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Every domain name has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia CP, which comes with our cloud web hosting products, allows you to take care of the name servers of each domain name registered through our company with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even if you haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain address before, you simply won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll enable you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses all at once. Additionally we give you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to point 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 direct the domain to their system. Different from other providers, we don't charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you register a new domain address inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you are going to be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you have not had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, provided with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have many domains within the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you quite a lot of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain name uses and if they're the proper ones or not for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you've got on our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also enable you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for any other one that you intend to point to our cloud platform.
