Own nameservers

Discussion in 'Site & Server Administration' started by Vadadosa, Mar 6, 2016.

    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.

    @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.

    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.
