    I just bought a VPS, I am currently setting it up. I am at the Nameserver Configuration right now and wanted to know if I can get some tips.

    I can either chose BIND or NSD...what the option for me?


    I will have 5 domains on the VPS, all of which are wallpaper and arcade sites.

    NSD is more lightweight and should be fine if you're only hosting a few dns zones.

    Okay, thanks for the info so I shouldn't have any problem with NSD...

    so I own a four domain through namecheap, I change the nameservers to my hosting. With NSD this is no problem?


    And thanks for the link kailash.

    Whats DNS clustering as well?

    If you do not want to setup nameservers on your main server then you can setup a separate server with cPanel DNS only and then you can setup cluster for these two server.
