What is the NS server and what are they for?

NS - "name server" - this is the domain name server, that includes an necessary information about the domain name to its correct and proper operation, which in turn indicates exactly where the website and mail is located for domain name was bought for it. DNS server stores information about the domain zone and when requested DNS server to provides it.

For proper operation of the domain name must have at least two NS servers, usually they are called "ns" or "ns1" it will be the primary (master) and a second "ns2", he in turn will be a secondary (slave). In our case, we called them:

ns.cloudhosting.lv IP-адрес 91.220.43.5 (primary / master)
ns2.cloudhosting.lv IP-адрес 185.8.60.254 (secondary / slave)
