The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the group of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL inside an Internet 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. With this 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 required from the correct location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain address (MX record) to ensure a message can be delivered to the correct mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is performed using the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like 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 only moments. Via the feature-rich Domain Manager tool inside the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to change the name servers not just of one domain, but even of multiple domains simultaneously whenever you intend to forward them all to the same hosting company. The very same steps will also allow you to forward newly transferred domain names to our platform since the transfer procedure doesn't change the name servers automatically and the domain addresses will still redirect to the old host. If you'd like to set up private name servers for a domain registered on our end, you're going to be able to do that with a few clicks and with no additional charge, so in case you have a company website, for instance, it's going to have more credibility if it employs name servers of its own.
