About NS records
NS records list the nameservers that hold a domain's DNS records. They are set at the registrar, and changing them moves the whole domain to a different DNS provider.
There should be at least two nameservers, ideally on different networks, and all of them should give the same answers. Our DNS Health Check tests exactly that.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a nameserver change take?
Often a few hours, but up to 48 hours while old NS records expire from caches at the top-level domain and at resolvers.
