b. Value: Enter the address of the authoritative nameserver managing your DNS Records. This is usually provided by your DNS hosting provider.
c. TTL (time to live): Set it to Auto or select a value to decide how long you want DNS information to be stored by servers and browsers. A lower TTL means changes to the record will take effect faster.
