    Hey,
    i have bought a VPS and i want to create nameservers.

    My registrar's site has the option "Create DNS Zone"

    i set my server's ip1 to my domain & create 2 A records for my nameservers

    ns1.mydomain.com to ip1
    ns2.mydomain.com to ip2

    anything wrong?

    You need to create 5 records - SOA (1), NS (2) and A (2).

    Somebody has to set up your SOA and NS records. Run this command and see if your records are set:

    nslookup
    set type=soa          <-- start of authority
    intel.com.            <-- use your domain name here
    set type=ns           <-- name servers
    intel.com.            <-- use your domain name here
    Code (markup):
    If the results give you correct SOA and NS records, then your hosting company/registrar has already done this for you and you just need to set what's missing (at least the MX record).
