The NS (Name Server) records of a domain reveal which DNS servers are authoritative for its zone. Essentially, the zone is the collection of all records for the domain address, so when you open a URL inside a web browser, your computer asks the DNS servers worldwide where the domain address is hosted and from which servers the DNS records for the domain address ought to be retrieved. That way 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 website content is required from the right location, a mail relay server detects which server handles the e-mails for the domain address (MX record) so a message can be forwarded to the appropriate mailbox, etc. Any change of these sub-records is conducted through 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 at least 2 NS records - primary and secondary, which start with a prefix such as NS or DNS.

We give you the opportunity to create child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for each domain registered within the account just as easily and all you need for that is a couple of IPs - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to point the domain name to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you'll use the new records to direct the domain address to their system. In contrast to other companies, we do not charge more for providing this additional DNS management service.
