The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the group of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. With this a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain address has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Shared Hosting

The outstanding Hepsia CP, which comes with our shared hosting plans, allows you to handle the name servers of any domain name registered through us with simply a couple of mouse clicks, so even though you may haven't had a hosting plan or a domain address before, you won't encounter any troubles. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it'll allow you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses together. Additionally we give you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain name registered inside the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IPs - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to point 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 forward the domain address to their system. Different from other companies, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

You'll also have the ability to see with a glance what name servers every one of your domain names uses presently and if they are the ones required to forward that domain to the semi-dedicated account. As an additional feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com free of charge. This will give more credibility to your website, especially if it is a business one, and you could use these name servers for any other domain address that you'd like to host in the semi-dedicated account as well.
