The NS (Name Server) records of a domain name reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Basically, the zone is the range of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL in a browser, your personal computer asks the DNS servers globally where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain name must be retrieved. With this 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 right location, a mail relay server finds out which server handles the emails for the domain (MX record) to ensure that a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, etc. Any modification of these sub-records is conducted using the company whose name servers are used, allowing you to keep the web hosting and switch only your email provider for instance. Each Internet domain has no less than 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix like NS or DNS.

We give you the chance to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each and every domain name registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you are going to use the child NS to forward 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 point the domain to their system. Unlike other providers, we do not charge extra for providing this additional DNS management service.
