NS
What are NS records?
An "NS" or Nameserver record indicates which DNS nameservers are authoritative for the domain or sub-domain, i.e. which servers should be queried to lookup the values of all other records (such as A, CNAME, MX).
The nameserver records for your domain are set at the Domain Registrar level (where we register and pay for your domain). The registrar then delegates to our nameservers.
Note
You cannot re-delegate the root of your domain (e.g. example.com). Changing the NS records for this domain root is possible in the DNS control Panel but it will not have the intended effect and could cause problems. If you need to delegate the domain entirely, please contact Tibus Support who will make the change at the Registrar for you. Only change your NS record for a sub-domain where you want to delegate that to other nameservers.
Example
| Name | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
example.com |
NS | dns1.tibus.net |
example.com |
NS | dns2.tibus.net |
Changing Nameserver records
The ability to set NS records in our DNS control panel is intended for delegation to another set of nameservers (not Tibus). This redelegation is only possible for sub-domains (e.g. mysubdomain.example.com):
| Name | Type | Value |
|---|---|---|
mysubdomain.example.com |
NS | something.ns.cloudflare.com |
mysubdomain.example.com |
NS | somethingelse.ns.cloudflare.com |
