I wish someone would write a blog post about the difference between DNS registrars and DNS hosts, because I've seen people assume they need to use a registrar that has an API in order to change their DNS records programmatically. I used to assume that too.
reply- registrars control NS records, however these can be changed
- NS records control other records
- registrars can also use their own nameservers to manage your DNS
replyYeah, so basically it’s fine as long as your registrar lets you set your own NS. Are there ones where you can’t do that?
