The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL in a web browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain ought to be retrieved. That way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the web site content is required from the right location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be sent to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every domain has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
Managing the NS records for any domain name registered in a shared web hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you just seconds. Using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you are going to be able to change the name servers not only of one domain, but even of many domain addresses at a time if you would like to direct them all to the same hosting company. The very same steps will also permit you to point newly transferred domain names to our platform because the transfer procedure isn't going to change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still redirect to the old host. If you wish to set up private name servers for an Internet domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with only a couple of clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for example, it will have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for directing any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they are created for.
