The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to 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 IP and the website content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the e-mails for the domain (MX record) to ensure a message can be forwarded to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single Internet domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
When you use a Linux shared website hosting package from our company and you add a new domain within the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you will be able to handle its NS records effortlessly using the Hepsia website hosting CP, which comes with all shared accounts. You can change the current name servers or enter additional ones for a single domain or even for several domains at once with several clicks. This is done through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain address even if it's the first one you've ever registered. It requires just a click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they're the correct ones to direct a domain to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for any one of the domain names that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of every provider that you would like the new NS records to direct to.
NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting
The name servers for any domain address that is registered through our company could be changed with no more than a few clicks through the sophisticated, albeit easy-to-use Hepsia Control Panel that comes with all semi-dedicated server plans. It is just as simple to view the current NS records for a given domain name and to verify if they're the ones that are needed for the domain address to be pointed to your hosting account. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, is user-friendly enough to enable you to manage any domain name with ease even if you haven't dealt with such matters before. If you would like, you can even register private name servers ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com and use them not only for the domain under which they are set up, but also for any other domain name that you would like to host inside the very same account. This feature is very useful if you have clients of your own and you would like their web sites to use your own name servers instead of our default ones. The service is available absolutely free.
