Answer

What are Name Servers (NS) and DNS?

Name Servers (NS) are servers responsible for handling a domain and storing its DNS records.

DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that determines where a domain name points.

DNS records are used for:

  • pointing a domain to a server IP address (A record);
  • configuring mail servers (MX records);
  • linking subdomains (CNAME records);
  • domain verification and security policies (TXT records).

Changing name servers defines where your domain’s DNS records are hosted and managed.
