You can list multiple nameservers, but you cannot mix nameservers from different providers (like Cloudflare, Google DNS, or a custom DNS service) for a single domain — doing so will likely break DNS resolution or cause inconsistent behavior.
✅ What you can do: Use multiple nameservers from the same DNS provider (e.g., ns0.makeyournetwork.com.com and ns2.makeyournetwork.com are both from Makeyournetwork). Most DNS providers give you 2–4 nameservers to configure for redundancy and reliability.
❌ What you cannot do: You cannot mix: *.ns.cloudflare.com (Cloudflare) dns.google.com (Google Public DNS) dns.makeyournetwork.com (Custom provider) DNS for a domain must be delegated to a single authoritative provider, not several. What to do instead: If you want features from multiple DNS services (e.g., Google DNS’s speed + Cloudflare’s DDoS protection), here are your options: Use Cloudflare as your authoritative DNS, and configure records (like A, CNAME, etc.) within Cloudflare. Use Google Public DNS as a resolver, but this is for end users — not for setting on your domain registrar. For custom records or integrations, see if Cloudflare or your main provider supports forwarding or proxying.
✅ Example of a valid nameserver setup: nitin.ns.cloudflare.com vera.ns.cloudflare.com
❌ Invalid setup (do not do this):
