The NS (Name Server) records of a domain show which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in a web browser, your PC asks the DNS servers world-wide where the domain 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 address is so that the latter is mapped to an Internet protocol address and the site content is required from the proper location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the emails for the domain (MX record) so a message can be sent to the right mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are employed, so you can keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for instance. Each and every domain has no less than two NS records - primary and secondary, that start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

This is done via the Registered Domains section of the in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel and with only a few clicks you're going to be able to update the NS records of a single one or even numerous domains at the same time, which could save you time and efforts if you have a lot of domain addresses you want to redirect to an alternative provider. You can enter numerous name servers depending on how many the other provider offers you. We enable you to create private name servers for every Internet domain registered through our company and unlike many other providers we don't charge anything extra for this service. The newly created NS records can be used to direct any other domain address to the hosting platform of the provider whose IPs you have used during the process, so when you use our IPs for instance, all domain addresses added to the account on our end can use these name servers.
