DNS & domain registration

  • nameservers define your domain's current DNS provider
  • by changing nameservers you change the site in which to manage your DNS records, examples:
    • you can change your nameservers to freedns1.registrar-servers.com and freedns2.registrar-servers.com to start using Namecheap's FreeDNS service to manage DNS records on Namecheap instead of on your current registrar (source)
    • you can change your nameservers to ns1.digitalocean.com., ns2.digitalocean.com. and ns3.digitalocean.com. to start using DigitalOcean to manage DNS records instead of using your current registrar (source)
  • some registrars don't allow you to change nameservers or charge an extra fee for it
    • for example, Cloudflare doesn't allow for custom nameservers unless the client pays for the Business or Enterprise plan (1, 2)
