Domain redirection to external DNS servers means that all domain support is transferred to another company. If you want to leave your mail and websites in your domain at home.pl, you can, for example: add a new subdomain and direct it to external DNS servers. Due to the specificity of the service which is a subdomain, i.e. an additional address created in the domain name, the subdomain delegation requires the creation of additional domain records.
