The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the range of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within an Internet 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. This way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any change of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, enabling you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every Internet domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Website Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, which comes with our website hosting products, will permit you to deal with the name servers of each domain registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a hosting plan or a domain before, you simply won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain names simultaneously. In addition we provide you with the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain name registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to forward the domain address to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for every domain address that is registered through us can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks using the leading-edge, although easy-to-use Hepsia CP included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as effortless to view the current NS records for a specific domain name and to verify if they're the ones that are necessary for the domain name to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to permit you to handle any domain address with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you wish, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain name under which they're set up, but also for any other domain that you would like to host in the same account. This option is very handy if you have customers of your own and you would like their websites to use your own name servers in lieu of our default ones. The service is available free of charge.
