What Are NS Records?

NS (Name Server) records specify which DNS servers are authoritative for a domain. They tell the internet where to find the DNS records for your domain.

How Many Do You Need?

Most domains have 2 to 4 nameservers for redundancy. If one goes down, others continue serving DNS queries.
