Can I ask when/why you would use custom name servers? I’m unfamiliar with them.



My reason is so that I can manage the DNS from a different place.

I use Digital Ocean to manage all my servers, and they have a DNS management interface where you can add domains, I prefer their UI and it has some nice integrations with their other services (e.g auto complete for VPS IPs).


Letting an email provider manage the domain.
