The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the group of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL within a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. 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 Internet protocol address and the website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the appropriate mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each Internet domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud hosting products, will enable you to take care of the name servers of every single domain registered through our company with simply a few clicks, so even if you have never had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses all at once. We also give you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain registered inside 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 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 redirect the domain name to their system. In contrast to other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The name servers for each domain name that is registered through our company can be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks through the innovative, although easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that is included with all semi-dedicated server plans. It's just as simple to see the current NS records for a given domain name and to verify if they are the ones that are necessary for the domain address to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to manage any domain name with ease even if you have not dealt with such matters before. If you'd like, you may also register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain address under which they're set up, but also for any other domain that you'd like to host in the same account. This feature is very beneficial if you have clients of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
