Can I use one hosting account for two domains?
While you may believe that you need to have a separate hosting account for every single domain that you own, the fact is you can manage them with a single account. All you need to do is sign up for the right hosting plan that allows you to support and manage multiple websites from just one hosting account.
Can you have multiple DNS hosts?
You can have as many DNS providers as you like, but the domain name itself can only be registered with a single organization.
How do I use two DNS providers?
Basically all you’ll need to do is find another DNS provider, setup your DNS there the same as it is at Namecheap, and set the secondary DNS server on Namecheap to your new DNS provider.
Can a DNS server host the same zone?
DNS servers within a domain will typically all host the same zones, so if one of them is unable to answer a given query, they all will be unable to do so, and forwarding that query from one server to another will simply cause delays. Configure aging and scavenging to avoid stale DNS records.
How many DNS servers do I need for one domain?
In a larger environment, at least two domain controllers at each physical site should be DNS servers. This provides redundancy in the event that one DC goes offline unexpectedly. Note that domain-joined machines must be configured to use multiple DNS servers in order to take advantage of this.
Can a domain joined computer use an external DNS server?
If a domain-joined computer is configured to use an external server as an alternate DNS server, a temporary lack of connectivity to an internal DNS server will cause that machine to begin using the external server for resolution.
Where are the domains in the DNS hierarchy located?
The domains in the DNS hierarchy are globally distributed, hosted by DNS name servers around the world.
