Note: if you just register a domain at some domain seller (and the domain seller runs the DNS for you), you usually
just get some web interface to manage the DNS records. Often, that nameserver is not configured to accept dynamic
updates (RFC 2136) unless otherwise noted by your DNS hoster. If unsure, read their documentation, examine their
web interfaces (if they allow dynamic updates, there should be some means to configure or see the update algorithm,
secret and maybe even the update policy (where you can setup rules to allow/deny specific hosts) or just ask them.
