Name Server Selection (multiple accounts with multiple name servers)

[supportmwm]

Hi

I have been really confused about this and wondering if this could possibly impact my server performance.

I have setup multiple accounts on my cPanel server - and I prefer to use cPanel as web server only and not DNS server. For DNS, i am using AWS Route 53 service for all my accounts on the same server.

As you might know, Route 53 assigns different name servers for each domain, I could not really provide a single set of name servers while setting up my server hence I provide a dummy one.

I was wondering if having it setup this way would have any adverse impact on performance of my websites or performance of WHM/cPanel login?

One more question -
I know I can select name servers at registrars while setting up an account. Is there any way to change it afterwards?

Thanks

Hello

There's no negative impact on your websites if you use false local name servers when the DNS is handled on a remote server. There's never any DNS interaction with the cPanel server when visitors access the website because the DNS is handled remotely.

I know I can select name servers at registrars while setting up an account. Is there any way to change it afterwards?

Yes, you can change the name servers for a domain name via "WHM >> DNS Functions >> Edit DNS Zone".

Thank you.
