cloud Nameserver (NS) Lookup

An NS (Nameserver) record is a DNS record that specifies the authoritative DNS servers for a domain. These nameservers contain all the DNS records (like A, MX, CNAME) for that domain and are responsible for telling other computers where to find your website or email services.

Nameservers are the backbone of how your domain connects to the internet. They direct traffic for your website, email, and other services. Incorrect nameserver settings can lead to your website being unreachable or emails not being delivered.

Nameservers are typically changed through your domain registrar's control panel. You'll usually update them to point to the nameservers provided by your web hosting company or DNS management service.

DNS propagation is the time it takes for DNS changes (like nameserver updates) to be reflected across the internet's DNS servers. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours, though it's often much faster.
