What is a DNS NS record?
NS stands for ‘name server’ and this record indicates which DNS server is authoritative for that domain (which server contains the actual DNS records). A domain will often have multiple NS records which can indicate primary and backup name servers for that domain.
Example of an NS record:
| example.com | record type: | value: | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| @ | NS | ns1.exampleserver.com | 21600 |
