The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL within a web browser, your computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. 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 Internet protocol address and the website content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the emails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
The innovative Hepsia CP, included with with our cloud website hosting products, will allow you to handle the name servers of each domain address registered through our company with just a few mouse clicks, so even though you may haven't had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you'll not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains together. We provide you with the chance to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to direct the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to redirect the domain to their system. Unlike other companies, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
The name servers for any domain that is registered through us may be changed with no more than a few mouse clicks via the leading-edge, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as effortless to see the current NS records for a particular domain and to determine if they're the ones that are required for the domain name to be forwarded to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to control any domain with ease even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you may even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you'd like to host inside the very same account. This feature is very handy when you have clients of your own and you wish their sites to use your own name servers rather than our default ones. The service is 100 % free.
