The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. In 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 site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is performed through the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as 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 top-notch cloud platform will take you merely seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia Control Panel, you're going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain name, but even of numerous domain names at once whenever you would like to forward them all to the same webhosting provider. The exact same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domain addresses to our platform because the transfer process is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domains will still direct to the old host. If you would like to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company website, for instance, 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 redirecting any other domain name to the same account as well, not just the one they are created for.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you register a new domain name in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you'll be able to update its NS records as required without any difficulties even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have multiple domain addresses within the account, you will be able to update all of them at the same time, which will save you a great deal of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers which a domain address uses and if they're the correct ones or not for the domain to be pointed to the account that you have got on our innovative cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to set up private name servers under any domain name registered within the account and use them not just for that domain address, but also for any other one that you wish to direct to our cloud platform.
