A record or Nameservers when adding domains

I was wondering which one is the better way to redirect from registrar to Vercel. Is it better to use A record or better to use nameservers?

Hey @gyurisc. Either option will work. Which one is best depends on your project and the ways you intend to use your custom domain. :smile:

If you use A and CNAME records, you would continue to manage DNS records with your external registrar. This can be helpful if you use them for email or have other services already using the domain/subdomain.

If you use Vercel nameservers then you would manage all DNS records from the Vercel dashboard. This is the recommended strategy for wildcard domains, like in the Platforms Starter Kit example. But that’s a specific scenario that doesn’t apply to most projects.
