: How to delegate DNS records for 3rd-level subdomains to another DNS server, but keep 2nd-level as-is? I have Namecheap BasicDNS for example.com and I would like Namecheap to continue to keep

Posted in: #Dns #DnsServers #Namecheap

I have Namecheap BasicDNS for example.com and I would like Namecheap to continue to keep managing the DNS records for all of its subdomains unless I tell it otherwise.

Specifically, I want to let mysubdomain.example.com handle the DNS records for all of its own subdomains.

Is such a setup possible? Simply put, is it possible to make DNS servers "hierarchical" like this?
Or do I have to point the entire domain's nameserver toward a custom one?

It is technically possible (it means you need to have NS records in example.com for handling mysubdomain.example.com) but it depends on the service Namecheap is giving you. Since you are paying them, did you ask them?
It is most probably not possible, especially for a "basicDNS" called service, but only they could answer you on this.
