Required information regarding domain and naming servers

[Gouri]

Hi,

Sorry if this post is wrongly posted in this section but i thought that this belongs to computer and technology so i posted here.


I got a doubt that If i have a domain for example www.mydomain.com with some domain registrar
They will be having naming servers as

ns1.xxxxx.com
ns2.xxxxx.com

Then we will change them to
ns1.x10hositng.com
ns2.x10hositing.com

to work with x10 hosting.


My doubt is can we use like

ns1.x10hosting.com
ns1.xxxxx.com

or

ns2.x10hosting.com
ns2.xxxxx.com

combinations

whether they will work or gives any problems?

thanks

I'm not an expert in name servers, but I think you'd be better off just using:
ns1.x10hosting.com
ns2.x10hosting.com

Taken from wikipedia:
"Every domain name must have a primary nameserver (eg. ns1.domainname.com), and at least one secondary nameserver (ns2.domainname.com etc). This requirement aims to make the domain still reachable even if one nameserver becomes inaccessible.[1]"

Which means, you could use any of x10's nameservers as primary ns and any other ns as secondary etc, but if the primary fails, the user will be redirected to a completely different server. And if the primary does not fail, the user has nothing to do with the secondary ns.

So it's actually not useful to not use the default servers.
