Can the orders of the name servers alter the search engine rankings?? I explain: I have a site number 1 in google for long time. Due to an update, the register has (yesterday) put the dns in the opposite order in which this site always been (the primary dns now shows as secondary and vicevers) While any other changes that I do to my domain in my control panel seems to take effect, I cannot change the dns on my domain control panel as they are showing in the right order despite each time I run a whois the dns's are showing in the wrong order. So, can this affect the possitioning of said site that right until two days ago was with the dns's the other way round?? *At present the site still showing number 1 |

I can find no reason that this should affect your search engine placement of your website or any other operational matter of your site. DNS effectively operates at a lower level that HTTP. A web browser, or search engine maintains no interest in the order of DNS servers, so long as the DNS records are still able to be resolved, and changing the order should not affect that. For the purposes of resolving a name to an address, any authoriative name server can be queried and provide the same response. The listed order is unimportant for that operation. The only way I can imagine that you rating might be affect would be if there were a window of unavailablity during a DNS change over, but seeing as the only order has been reversed, this seems very unlikely. The order of DNS servers, as listed when registering domains, is not generally relevant, so long as you are not requiring that the registering body provide and secondary or tertiary DNS services for you. I hope this can put your mind at rest. My information is based on over 5 years of providing personal webhosting and DNS services and over a year managing DNS matters for a national-level ISP and it's customers.
