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, so when you open a URL inside a browser, your computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain name 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 Internet protocol address and the site content is requested from the proper location, a mail relay server finds out which server deals with the emails for the domain (MX record) so that a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, and so forth. Any modification of these sub-records is done with the help of the company whose name servers are employed, allowing you to keep the website hosting and change only your email provider for example. Each and every domain name has a minimum of 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, has a very user-friendly interface and it'll permit you to modify the NS records of any domain address or even a number of domains simultaneously. We also give you the ability to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain name registered inside 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 forward the domain address to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party company if you'll use the new records to forward the domain to their system. Different from other companies, we don't charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
