The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal 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 inside a browser, your PC asks the DNS servers globally where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain should be retrieved. With this a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain is so that the latter is mapped to an IP address and the web site content is required from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server manages the emails for the domain name (MX record) so a message can be delivered to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain name has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
Taking care of the NS records for any domain address registered inside a shared hosting account on our state of the art cloud platform is going to take you only moments. Through the feature-rich Domain Manager tool in the Hepsia CP, you'll be able to change the name servers not only of one domain address, but even of many domain addresses at once in case that you need to point them all to the same hosting company. The exact same steps will also permit you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform because the transfer process won't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still direct to the old host. If you wish to create private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you'll be able to do that with a few mouse clicks and with no additional charge, so if you have a company web site, as an example, it'll have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for redirecting any other domain to the same account too, besides the one they're created for.
