The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the group of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within an Internet browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name should be retrieved. This way a browser finds out what the A or AAAA record of the domain 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 manages the emails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be sent to the needed mailbox, and so forth. Any change of these sub-records is performed with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, so that you can keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Every single domain name has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.
NS Records in Cloud Website Hosting
The outstanding Hepsia CP, included with with our cloud website hosting plans, will enable you to control the name servers of every single domain registered through us with only a few clicks, so even though you may haven't had a web hosting plan or a domain name before, you will not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and will allow you to modify the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domain names simultaneously. Additionally we offer you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you will use the child NS to forward the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to redirect the domain address to their system. In contrast to other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.

You're also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domains as an element of the free DNS control services we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com.
