How to Add Domains to VPS

    I have one registered domain on VPS with DNS hosting and would like to host more domains (sites) on that VPS.

    As I understood, I don't have to buy DNS hosting for the other domain, so how do I host more domains? It's Windows VPS with Plesk. Can anyone explain in detail?

    Do I need to create NS records for my registered domain (ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com) and then point other domain to those nameservers?

    I really am a newbie at this,

    Thanks in advance,
    -Alex

    Go to child name servers in your domain panel. Create ns1 to your 1st VPS IP and ns2 to your 2nd VPS IP. If you only have one IP, create ns1 and ns2 to the same IPs.

    Hope this helped!

    You don't need to create a NameServer on your vps.
    You can create a record A to the control panel of your Manteiner for point each domain to each vps.

    After point the domains on the vps, you must create a VirtualHost on the vps. you can install apache or nginx for webserver, if you ise apache, you can read the original tutorial http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/examples.html

    Don't need to control panel.

    But if you want to use a free contro panel for manage all your option of your server, you can install WebMin http://webmin.com/
