Managing NS servers
What are NS records?
NS (name server) records are records in the unified domain name directory, so that your browser understands where it should look for the IP address of the selected domain address and is able to quickly and correctly display the desired page.
By default, when you purchase domains at Aéza we automatically point you to the following two NS records:
- ns1.aezadns.com (primary)
- ns2.aezadns.com (backup).
The actual number of other DNS hosting records may vary and may contain from 1 to 4 NS addresses, which must be correctly specified for domain binding. Each of them contains the same data about specified server IP address.
Information
You can also not specify NS records, but in this case the domain will be inactive and browsers will not be able to recognize the IP address of your server.
How do I specify NS records for a domain?
In fact, this procedure is the same for any domain name registrar and you can use these instructions to transfer a domain for WEB Protection from Aéza even for domains purchased outside of our hosting. The only difference will be the page design.
To do this - go to the "Services" section Click on the three dots on the right side of the service and go to its page. Then go to the "DNS Management" section.
Check the box to set Own NS servers. Enter from 1 to 4 addresses of NS-servers of the desired DNS hosting.
After confirming your changes with the "Confirm" button, the changes will instantly take effect, but the largest DNS address databases from Google, Facebook, OpenDNS, Yandex.DNS and a dozen other address directories will notice your changes only a few hours later.
Information
This often takes from 2 to 48 hours (in rare cases up to 72 hours).
After changing NS records, you will be able to use this domain for your own website, either on Aéza hosting and be able to fully utilize our Web Protection for your sites and services, or outside of Aéza hosting.
