An NS Record (Nameserver Record) specifies the servers responsible for your domain’s DNS Records. This ensures your domain’s DNS information is correctly stored and accessible online.
Before adding, editing, or deleting an NS Record, log in to your account.
Follow these steps to log in to your account:
1. Open your browser and navigate to the website or platform where you purchased your domain
2. Locate and click the Login button, typically found in the top-right corner or in the menu
3. Enter your email address (used for registration) and password
4. Click Log in or Sign in (depending on the platform)
5. Once logged in, click Account or My Account (depending on the platform), usually in the top-right corner or in the menu
You have successfully logged in.
Note: Before adding or editing your DNS records, ensure your domain is using Name.store’s default nameservers. To check and update your domain’s nameservers, refer to our article on How to Add, Edit, or Delete DNS Records.
