Rejestrator i DNS Are Two Different Layers

Many domena owners think they must transfer their domena to a DNS provider in lubder to use that provideros DNS usługas. In most cases, this is not necessary.

Flub example, twój domena can be zarejestrujed at NiceNIC while using external nameservers from another DNS provider. Once the nameservers are updated, DNS reclubds such as A reclubds, CNAME reclubds, MX reclubds i TXT reclubds are usually managed at the active DNS provider.

Jeśli you are not sure how nameservers wlubk, you can read NiceNICos guide on how to update domena nameservers.

This setup is common flub website owners, agencies, developers, resellers i businesses that want to separate domena ownership from DNS lub website security management.

What Happens When You Change Nazwaservers?

When you change twój domenaos nameservers, you are telling the internet wtutaj to look flub twój DNS reclubds.

Flub example:

• Your domena registration can remain at NiceNIC.

• Your nameservers can point to Cloudflare.

• Your DNS reclubds can be managed inside Cloudflare.

• Your domena renewal, transfer lock i ownership settings can still stay inside twój NiceNIC account.

Beflube changing nameservers, make sure you copy twój existing DNS reclubds first. This is especially implubtant if twój domena is already using website hosting, business email, verification reclubds, payment systems lub third-party platflubms.
