The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a web browser, your laptop or 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. In this way a 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 web site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, enabling you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every single Internet domain has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

In the event you register a domain name in a cloud hosting account from our company, you will be able to handle its name servers easily. This is accomplished using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with a few mouse clicks you'll be able to update the NS records of a single one or even a number of domains at the same time, which could save you considerable time and efforts when you have a huge number of domains that you would like to redirect to a different service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. Additionally we allow you to set up private name servers for every single Internet domain registered through our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything additional 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 if you use our IPs for instance, all domain names included in the account on our end can use these name servers.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you register a new domain address inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you will be able to update its NS records as needed without any troubles even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a few mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, provided with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have multiple domain names inside the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at once, which could save you lots of time and mouse clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain uses and if they are the proper ones or not as a way for the domain name to be forwarded to the account that you've got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will allow you to create private name servers under any domain registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for any other one that you intend to direct to our cloud platform.
