Ns-records point to yandex, and the site itself is on a third-party hosting?

Question

Domain Name System

Please explain how it can happen that the dns of the domain point to yandex.net, and the folder with the site is located on another hosting? Is it some kind of yandex service with the ability to redirect domains that I don't know about?

Answer 1

The A-record on the IP of the host indicates. In Yandex, you can edit the DNS zone.

Answer 2

NS is not the location of the website's server.
NS is the location of the DNS servers.
The server you need is records like A or AAA or CNAME.
Well, if it's mail, then records of type MX.
No. This is not a domain redirect.
Domain redirection is done by means of HTTP, not DNS. Or maybe a CNAME record, but not an NS record.

Answer 3

It's just that Yandex has free dns hosting. And most hosting providers want some money for every sneeze.
