The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal 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 personal computer asks the DNS servers around the globe where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. This way 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 web site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server discovers which server deals with the emails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Every single Internet domain has a minimum of two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you register a new domain name inside a semi-dedicated server account or transfer an existing one from another registrar provider, you're going to be able to update its NS records as required without any issues even if you haven't had a domain name of your own before. The process takes a couple of mouse clicks in Hepsia - the user-friendly control tool, included with our semi-dedicated plans. If you have many domain names within the account, you'll be able to update all of them at once, which could save you lots of time and clicks. You can also see with ease the name servers that a domain address uses and if they are the correct ones or not in order for the domain address to be directed to the account that you've got on our advanced cloud web hosting platform. Hepsia will even allow you to set up private name servers under any domain address registered in the account and use them not only for that domain address, but also for every other one that you would like to point to our cloud platform.
