My hosting company set “ns2.myhostingcompany.com” as primery DNS to my website. Is it correct? (Now, my control panel shows as below:
Primary: ns2.myhostingcompany.com
Secondary: ns1.myhostingcompany.com)
Or Do I change ns2 as Secondary (as shown below)?
Primary: ns1.myhostingcompany.com
Secondary: ns2.myhostingcompany.com
many advised that the above format is correct and to change it.
Changing or not changing will affect my site’s performance/speed…..?
For your reference:
My site is under-construction. (And I hope a million visitors will visit.)
My web hosting account has unlimited bandwidth and storage.
It is dedicated.
I planned to host many sites with it.
I’m confused. Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
If your own web hosting company tells you to use the DNS servers in a certain order… why would you assume it’s incorrect?
Numbers in server names are just that: numbers. They don’t mean anything other than a designation of the fact that they’re different servers. If they say ns2 should be primary, then use ns2 as the primary.
There are reasons a web host tells people to use their name servers in a certain order; the primary being load balancing (a way to process all the IP requests coming in from the various internet servers). Using a processing order other than your host tells you to may result in less than optimal name resolutions – in which case you have no one to blame but yourself if the number of visitors you get is less than expected. 
A company that owns servers knows better how to configure them than “many” other people who don’t work for that company. In other words: there’s no reason for confusion.
