The NS (Name Server) records of a domain point out which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. In simple terms, the zone is the group of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside 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 address ought to be retrieved. In this way a web browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is requested from the correct location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the e-mails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is performed through the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every domain address has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Hosting
Controlling the NS records for any domain name registered inside a shared hosting account on our top-notch cloud platform is going to take you merely seconds. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool within the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not only of a single domain name, but even of multiple domain names simultaneously in case that you need to forward them all to the same hosting company. Exactly the same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain addresses to our platform because the transfer process is not going to change the name servers automatically and the domain names will still point to the old host. If you need to create private name servers for a domain address 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 when you have a company site, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own. The newly created private name servers can be used for pointing any other domain to the same account too, not just the one they are created for.
