We're using a VPS. We set up a hostname as NS1.domainname.com and NS2.domainname.com Question: Where is the secondary or primary name server here? What is the difference if I put NS2 first in my addon domain? Is NS1 faster than NS2? Or are they interchangeable without affecting site page?
Hello, There is really no need for such a confusion . Both will work as same. You need one name server at least , say primary . Just use ns2 or ns1 , but make sure both are registered.
Thanks sysadmin for the enlightenment. Some of my sites start with NS1, some start with NS2. Should I make every domain uniform in DNS setup?
It is highly recommend to have 2 nameservers on each of your domain names in case one nameservers fails. ns1.__________.com ns2.__________.com Having only 1 nameservers on your domain name may be risky in case the nameserver fails, your website will fail. That is why its recommended to have 2 nameservers on each domain name.
