The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the range of all records for the domain, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. With this 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 site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the right mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single Internet domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Web Hosting

In the event you register a domain name within a web hosting account from our company, you'll be able to take care of its name servers easily. This can be done through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even a number of domain names at once, which could save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses that you would like to redirect to another service provider. You can enter a number of name servers depending on how many the other company offers you. Furthermore we enable you to create private name servers for each domain address registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we do not charge anything more for this service. The new NS records can be used to forward any other domain name to the hosting platform of the company whose IP addresses you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs for instance, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
