The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the selection of all records for the domain name, so when you open a URL within a web browser, your laptop or computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain name is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. In 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 web site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the e-mails for the domain name (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the correct mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted with the help of the company whose name servers are used, so that you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Every domain has at least two NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

If you use a Linux cloud hosting from our us and you add a new domain name in the account or transfer an existing one from another provider, you're going to be able to control its NS records easily using the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, provided with all shared accounts.

This is done using the feature-rich Domain Manager tool that is a part of Hepsia and the user-friendly interface is going to make it simple to control your domain even if it's the first one you have ever registered. It takes only a mouse click to see what name servers a domain uses at the moment or if they are the correct ones to forward a domain name to the hosting space on our end and with only a couple of mouse clicks more you'll even be able to register private name servers for each of the domain addresses that you own. For the latter option you can use the IPs of any company that you want the new NS records to direct to.
