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 range of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in an Internet browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. This way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain name is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is requested from the right location, a mail relay server discovers which server manages the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, and so on. Any modification of these sub-records is done through the company whose name servers are employed, so you're able to keep the web hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain address has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

The outstanding Hepsia CP, offered with with our shared website hosting plans, will allow you to manage the name servers of every domain registered through us with only a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you haven't had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you will not encounter any difficulties. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, comes with a very user-friendly interface and will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domain addresses together. Additionally we provide you with the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for any domain registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you're going to use the child NS to direct the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. In contrast to other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.

The section in which you will find all your domain names isn't an exception, so even if you haven't had a domain name and a hosting account before, updating the name servers or entering additional ones won't take you more than a several clicks. You will also be able to see with a glance what name servers each and every one of your domain names uses right now and if they're the ones required to direct that domain name to the semi-dedicated account. As an extra feature, we offer you the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1/2.your-domain.com at no extra cost. This will give more credibility to your site, particularly if it's a business one, and you can use these name servers for every other domain name which you want to host within the semi-dedicated account as well.
