The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the group of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in a browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address should be retrieved. With this 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 website content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every domain address has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting packages, will permit you to control the name servers of each and every domain registered through us with only a few mouse clicks, so even if you have never had a hosting plan or a domain before, you simply won't encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses together. We offer you the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you will use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to forward the domain name to their system. Different from other companies, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Our semi-dedicated server accounts are handled via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with extremely user-friendly interface, which will enable you to handle your domain addresses without difficulty even if you have never used a hosting account or a domain name before. Changing the NS records for each domain address registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are accurate or not as to point that domain name to our cloud hosting platform is also quite simple and takes just a couple of mouse clicks. You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domains as a part 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 any domain that you accommodate inside the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their sites, using this feature is going to give you far more credibility as a business.
