If I want to change my nameserver godaddy won’t allow me to enter a static ip.
It wants a hostname.
I observed that many use ns1.website.tld and ns2.website.tld.
I don’t understand how this can work because ns1.website.tld would be served by my dns server which is not yet known by others.
Do I need a second domain like domains.tld where I use the registrars dns server for serving ns1.domains.tld which I can then use as the nameserver for website.tld?
I would like to avoid the registrars nameserver and avoid getting a second domain just for dns.
I just switched to porkbun. Saves me about 20EUR per year.
Thanks for the tip.
I missed the keyword “glue records”. Ultimately I managed to get my dns server to work but decided against using it for now as the acme plugin is not able to do what I want. https://github.com/mariuskimmina/coredns-tlsplus/issues/2
