    Hello!
    I wonder if it possible for someone who has one PC and one static IP to somehow provide 2 DNS servers' names to a registrar?

    Setup 2 A Records to point to the same IP (ns1, ns2) but this defeats the purpose of having DNS.

    You can get a VPS server for $15 per year just to handle your DNS needs.

    How this fill defeat the purpose of having DNS? If I have to NS records with A records pointing to the same IP?

    If I understood, I have to do something like this:
    ns1.mydomain.com
    ns2.mydomain.com
    A ns1.mydomain.com 12.34.56.78
    A ns2.mydomain.com 12.34.56.78?
