Are either faster using a dns service and listing A servers?
Does the registrar also make a difference?:talk:

How much privacy does changing dns give me? I'm using the dns service one provide by the registrar.

I have a lot of .in domains, that have open who is. Is there any point in activating the dns settings?:music:

I think you're confused about DNS servers and A records.

A DNS server would be for instance ns1.flxhost.com and ns2.flxhost.com

You can usually specify more than that for failsafe, so when ns1.flxhost.com is down ns2.flxhost.com will be contacted instead.

The A record is what the IP address of the server you're hosted on is. The A record is stored on the dns server ns1.flxhost.com and ns2.flxhost.com.

So basically you have to use a DNS service to specify an A record, they are not two separate things.

They will both be setup with the same exact speed. That being said, you are better off using nameservers

Hello Wayne!
I do not understand whay you want... Do you want to have custom DNS for all of your domain names?
