The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the range of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain 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 name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the website content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server handles the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for example. 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 Website Hosting

When you use a website hosting plan from our company and you include a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another company, you are going to be able to handle its NS records easily via the Hepsia web hosting CP, offered with all shared accounts.

This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool which is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to manage your domain name even if it is the first you have ever registered. It requires just a mouse click to see what name servers a domain name uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to direct a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you are going to even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IP addresses of any company that you'd like the new NS records to forward to.
