The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your PC asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address must be retrieved. In this way 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 address and the site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted through the company whose name servers are employed, permitting you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every Internet domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Web Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia Control Panel, which comes with our cloud web hosting plans, will allow you to handle the name servers of every single domain name registered through our company with only a few clicks, so even if you haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain name before, you simply won't encounter any issues. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and it will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain addresses simultaneously. Additionally we offer you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain address registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to forward 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 address to their system. In contrast to other providers, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
