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 name, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain 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 web site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the appropriate mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, enabling you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Hosting

Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered inside a hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of numerous domain addresses at the same time if you would like to direct them all to the same webhosting provider. The exact same steps will also permit you to point newly transferred domain addresses to our platform given that the transfer procedure won't change the name servers automatically and the domains will still point to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for directing any other domain to the same account also, not just the one they're created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to control the NS records of any domain registered inside it effortlessly. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool for you to deal with everything relevant to your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find your domains isn't an exception, so even if you have not had a domain name and a website hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones is not going to take you more than a few mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domains uses currently and if they are the ones needed to forward that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your site, especially if it is a business one, and you could use these name servers for every other domain that you'd like to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
