The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL within a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address must be retrieved. In 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 site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server manages the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, enabling you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain name has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
If you register a domain name inside a cloud website hosting account from our company, you're going to be able to take care of its name servers without difficulty. This is done using the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting CP and with a few mouse clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain names at a time, which can save you time and efforts in case you have a large number of domains that you would like to direct to another service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other company provides you with. We also permit you to create private name servers for any domain address registered via our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so every time you use our IPs for example, all domains added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered using Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with highly user-friendly interface, that will allow you to handle your domain addresses without difficulty even if you have not used a hosting account or a domain address in the past. Changing the NS records for each and every domain name registered through our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also very simple and takes just a few clicks. You'll also be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain addresses as an element of the free DNS control services that we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for every domain address you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
