The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL inside an Internet browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name should be retrieved. That way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the web site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the emails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every domain name has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

Taking care of the NS records for any domain name registered inside a cloud hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you merely moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of a single domain name, but even of many domain names simultaneously whenever you need to direct them all to the same hosting company. The exact same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform as the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you need to create private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company website, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it uses name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain address to the same account also, not only 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 will be able to control the NS records of each domain name registered in it without difficulty. The Hepsia CP, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything related to your web presence, provides a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find your domain names is not an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain address and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a few clicks. You're also going to be able to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain addresses uses at the moment and if they're the ones needed to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your site, particularly if it is a business one, and you could use these name servers for every other domain which you want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
