Own nameservers

I am using nameservers with a webhosting provider. Now I am planning to manage own small business hosting environment where I can create A, MX, CNAME, NS etc records, and web server, databases on my servers.

Are there any reliable and fast server system available to create own private nameservers?

e,g ns1.mydomain.com and
ns2.mydomain.com

Both name servers will point to my business server IP addressees and in future my new domains will point to above names servers.

 

Hi, you can create your own private nameservers with a reseller or VPS hosting package, no problem at all. Check plans and ask support for a help.
Cheers.

 

If you are able to run dns server in your server, you can have your own nameservers.
see this link: http://mysql-apache-php.com/dns-server-tutorial.htm

 

Can someone explain this in windows environment. Preferably with windows 2008 or 2012 servers.

 

@Vadadosa Please refer the article http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/configure-dns-windows-server-2012,2-793.html to know about configuring DNS in windows environment. However if you don't have expeirence in managing a windows server I would suggest you to purchase a control panel such as Plesk that would help you to manage the servers in a few clicks.

 

You should use Cloudflare Dynamic DNS

For custom name server:

1. Buy domain *( This will be the namer server )
2. Create A Records on your server NS = IP addy ETC
3. Edit host records at your registar ( add name server )
4. Add name server to your domains

IF My directions sucked:

https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-my-own-host-names-as-nameservers-12320

Then see the Godaddy help page

 

YES

1. THROW windows machines in TRASH
2. Build LINUX STACK

 

If only I could like your post.

 

Well, this helps if you use GoDaddy... but it doesn't say ANYTHING about making your own DNS, not to mention running it. All it tells you is how to change the nameserver from GoDaddy to whatever you wanna use. There's a BIT more to it than that...

 

For windows environment you will have to install Microsoft DNS server which can be installed from Server Manager. Then create a forward lookup zone for the domain which you want as nameserver setup. I guess its not rocket science on how to add dns zone, its quite easy. Otherwise simple way will be to install a control panel like Plesk to manage DNS and nameservers.

 

true - and feel free to add that info instead of telling me how I suck LOL
