THE SITUATION<br />
<br />
my question is easy im sure but needs a quick response.<br />
<br />
I have a domain that was pointing to two name servers dns1.host.com (a shared IP) and dns2.host.com. <br />
<br />
At the hosting end - dns2.host.com has had an SSL installed for a subdomain of the main domain. And is now the main IP for the site.<br />
<br />
in the hosting zone files i have had all the www, ftp and relevant records of domain and subdomain point to the IP of dns2.host.com<br />
<br />
THE QUESTION<br />
<br />
i am wondering if I also need to change the nameservers of the domain so that it no longer points to nameserver dns1.com. Should the domain only point to the Primary IP dns2.host.com. And if so, can a domain just point to 1 namerserver, they always seem to ask for 2 or 3?<br />

Do I need to change my domain's nameservers in order for SSL to work

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
