The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL within a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain must be retrieved. With this 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 requested from the proper location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Website Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia CP, which comes with our website hosting plans, will allow you to handle the name servers of any domain registered through us with simply a few clicks, so even though you may have not had a web hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will enable you to change the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains all at once. Additionally we provide you with the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to point the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you will use the new records to point the domain name to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you go for a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to handle the NS records of every domain name registered inside it with ease. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is in essence an all-in-one tool where you can handle everything relevant to your web presence, offers a very simple and easy-to-use interface. The section in which you will find all of your domain addresses isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones will not take you more than a couple of mouse clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain names uses right now and if they're the ones required to forward that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an added feature, we present you with opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your web site, especially if it is a business one, and you could use these name servers for any other domain address which you want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
