Where do I manage my DNS records? (e.g., domain registrar, hosting provider, DNS service)

DNS management location depends on your nameserver configuration:

Check your nameservers: WHOIS or dig NS yourdomain.com shows where your DNS is hosted.

Common locations:

• Domain registrar: GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains often include DNS hosting.
• Hosting provider: Web hosts may require their nameservers.
• Dedicated DNS: Cloudflare, AWS Route53, DNSimple specialize in DNS.

Key distinction: Registrar is where you bought the domain. DNS host is where records are managed. These can be different.

If unsure, check nameserver records or contact your registrar to identify your DNS provider.

The port authority where your ship is registered may differ from where your cargo manifests are filed.
