The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal 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 an Internet browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. That way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain address is so that the latter is mapped to an IP and the site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server deals with the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) so that a message can be sent to the right mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done using the company whose name servers are used, permitting you to keep the website hosting and switch only your email provider for example. Each Internet domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Shared Web Hosting
In the event you register a domain name within a shared web hosting account from our company, you are going to be able to take care of its name servers effortlessly. This can be done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia website hosting CP and with a few mouse clicks you will be able to update the NS records of one or even numerous domain addresses simultaneously, which can save you considerable time and efforts in case you have a large number of domain addresses that you would like to direct to an alternative service provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider gives you. Furthermore we permit you to create private name servers for every domain name registered with our company and in contrast to many other providers we don't charge anything additional for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to point any other domain name to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so each time you use our IPs in particular, all domain names added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
