which TLD for forwarding nameserver?

Question

I want to setup 2 forwarding name servers with powerdns for customer sites.

My question is if it matters the domain under which the name servers will be registered.

Godaddy panel - for what I recall - has a check box that declares the domain as a name server followed by the name we want to assign.

Suppose I buy example.xyz and assign nameserver ns1.example.xyz. Will I have any problem compared with a registered name example.com and nameserver ns1.example.com?

If you disagree with the process don't hesitate to write your opinion.

Thank you.

PS: my question is about 2 nameservers based on 2 different TLDs and if one is preferred over the other & NOT about how a client domain sees a nameserver. I suppose this article is the right process.

It doesn't matter because example.xyz and example.com are totally different domain names. DNS resolving starts from top domain name zone (from the end), from xyz. and com., not from example..

would it matter in terms of efficiency the .com over .xyz?? – centurian Jun 28 '19 at 15:09

Only in the terms of marketing, not from technical point of view. – Anton Danilov Jun 28 '19 at 15:11
