The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the group of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. This way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the web site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain (MX record) to ensure a message can be sent to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Every single domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
When you use a shared web hosting from our company and you add a new domain address in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you'll be able to handle its NS records easily via the Hepsia hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain name or even for several domain names at the same time with several mouse clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface will make it simple to handle your domain name even if it is the first one you have ever registered. It requires simply a click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to point a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a few clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for any of the domains that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every company that you want the new NS records to forward to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you register a new domain name in a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar company, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you haven't had a domain of your own before. The process takes a couple of clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly administration tool, included with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have several domains in the account, you're going to be able to update all of them at the same time, which could save you 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 proper ones or not as a way for the domain address to be forwarded to the account that you have got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even allow you to create private name servers under any domain name registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for any other one that you want to direct to our cloud platform.
