How to configure a VPS to act as a DNS server for few domain names
I have recently purchased a VPS, i want to make the VPS act as domain name server for few domain names which i have purchased in the past, so that i can update DNS records for those domain names from my VPS. I know bind9 can be used for domain name servers but i dont know how use it in mycase. Please help. Let me know if any workaround is there.
If you want to use bind as an authoritative name server for your domains, you should take a look here, to see an example of named.conf and the zone files needed.
Once bind is configured and running you need to change the name servers details of your domains by contacting your registrar.
