The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL in a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. That way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the web site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, allowing you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Every single domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Hosting
Controlling the NS records for any domain address registered in a cloud hosting account on our cutting-edge cloud platform will take you only moments. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia CP, you will be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain name, but even of numerous domain addresses at once in case that you intend to forward them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also permit you to direct newly transferred domain addresses to our platform given that the transfer procedure doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still forward to the old host. If you need to set up private name servers for a domain address registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so when you have a company site, for example, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The new private name servers can be used for forwarding any other domain name to the same account as well, not only the one they are created for.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you register a new domain name in 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 difficulties even if you haven't had a domain of your own before. The process takes a few clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly management tool, which comes with our semi-dedicated packages. If you have many different domain addresses within the account, you're going to be able to update all of them simultaneously, which could save you lots of time and mouse clicks. Also you can see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the right ones or not as a way for the domain to be directed to the account which you have on our sophisticated cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even enable you to create private name servers under any domain address registered inside the account and use them not just for that domain name, but also for every other one that you wish to direct to our cloud platform.
