The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain must be retrieved. This way a 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 website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the emails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Every single Internet domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Website Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our shared website hosting plans, allows you to handle the name servers of every domain name registered through us with simply a few clicks, so even though you may haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you won't encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain addresses together. We offer you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain address registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll 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 will use the new records to redirect the domain name to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you choose a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you are going to be able to manage the NS records of every domain name registered in it effortlessly. The Hepsia Control Panel, which is essentially an all-in-one tool for you to manage everything associated with your web presence, offers a very simple and intuitive interface. The section where you will find all of your domain addresses isn't an exception, so even if you have never had a domain name and a web hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a couple of clicks. You will also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain addresses uses presently and if they're the ones required to point that domain address to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com totally free. This will give more credibility to your website, especially if it is a business one, and you may use these name servers for every other domain which you want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
