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 inside a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should 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 web site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server deals with the emails for the domain (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the appropriate mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every domain address has at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

NS Records in Cloud Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia CP, offered with with our cloud hosting packages, will allow you to manage the name servers of every domain registered through our company with just a few mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain name before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain or even a number of domain names together. We give you the ability to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every domain name registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you are 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 provider if you will use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. In contrast to other providers, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
