Set custom nameservers
When the zone should live elsewhere, for example at Cloudflare. And how to come back.

Switch
In the Nameservers tab, choose Custom nameservers under Which nameservers? and enter two to four hostnames, for example Cloudflare's. Save nameservers sends the complete list to the registrar and from there to the registry; until it applies everywhere, it takes a few hours up to a day, depending on the TTL of the old records. The top of the page shows what is registered at the registrar.
From then on, whatever is in the zone at the other provider applies. DNS records, DNSSEC and forwarding from here no longer take effect; the DNS tab points this out.
Back to us
Restore default switches back to the CitexNode nameservers (ns1 and ns2.citexnode.de). The zone from the DNS editor then applies again; whatever is in it is still there, as long as you have not deleted it. Check beforehand that it is complete.
What the switch does not change
Holder, term and renewal stay with us. Forwarding, however, needs the records in our zone, so it only works while our nameservers are set.
