    I just purchased a VPS hosting account at hostican and they told me to create nameservers at my registrar as

    However, my registrar charges extra $$ for creating private nameservers. But i dont want to spend money for this.
    So, how do i point my domain names at my nameservers at 202.xx.xx.xxx IPs ??

    I have heard about everydns.net, Will this work for me ?

    While creating an account in WHM, under DNS Settings there is setting for Use domain registry nameservers , what should i do about this ?
    I am so confused . Any good soul who can offer some help, ill be really really grateful.

    Someone please help.

    Don't create new nameservers. The registrar is probably charging you for registering your own new DNS server with the root servers. Instead, get them to change the current nameservers for your domain to the ones above. This is not something the registrar should be charging you for.

    I have a VPS and the option to create my own nameserver or use those of my VPS provider.

    If you don't want to pay for your own, raise a support ticket at hostican requesting their nameservers to setup your VPS

    There is no other way you can use private nameservers.

    YOu may ask your provide to use their hosted DNS, as that should work with you as well.
