The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the group of all records for the domain address, 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 should be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server takes care of the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the appropriate mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every domain address has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In the event you register a domain name inside a cloud hosting account from our company, you'll be able to control its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a few clicks you will be able to update the NS records of a single one or even multiple domains at a time, which can save you considerable time and efforts when you have a huge number of domain addresses that you would like to forward to a different provider. You can enter several name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. Additionally we allow you to set up private name servers for each and every Internet domain registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to point any other domain address to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for example, all domain addresses included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you are going to be able to update its NS records as needed without any difficulties even if you have not had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, included 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 will save you lots of time and mouse clicks. Additionally you can see with ease the name servers which a domain uses and if they're the right ones or not in order for the domain address to be pointed to the account which you have on our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to create private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not only for that domain name, but also for every other one that you wish to direct to our cloud platform.
