The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Simply, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name ought to be retrieved. That way a 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 web site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server takes care of the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure that a message can be delivered to the needed mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every domain name has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Website Hosting
In case you register a domain name inside a shared website hosting account from our company, you will be able to control its name servers without difficulty. This is accomplished through the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with just a couple of clicks you are going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domains at a time, which could save you considerable time and efforts when you have a lot of domain names that you would like to point to another provider. You can enter multiple name servers depending on how many the other company gives you. In addition we enable you to set up private name servers for every domain registered with our company and unlike many other companies we do not charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain to the hosting platform of the company whose IPs you have used during the process, so if you use our IPs in particular, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
