The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name 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 in a web browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. In this way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the website content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server discovers which server manages the emails for the domain (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are used, so you're able to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain address has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered within a shared web hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform will take you merely moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you are going to be able to change the name servers not just of one domain, but even of many domains simultaneously if you intend to point them all to the same hosting provider. Exactly the same steps will also enable you to point newly transferred domains to our platform as the transfer procedure does not change the name servers automatically and the domains will still point to the old host. If you wish to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you are going to be able to do that with just a few clicks and with no additional charge, so if you decide to have a company website, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain address to the same account too, not only the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you register a new domain within 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 troubles even if you have not had a domain of your own before. The process takes several clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated solutions. If you have a number of domain addresses inside the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which could save you quite a lot of time and clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain name uses and if they are the right ones or not in order for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you have on our advanced cloud hosting platform. Hepsia will also permit you to create private name servers under any domain registered within the account and use them not just for that domain, but also for every other one that you wish to point to our cloud platform.
