In this article I will help you to Setup DNS on VPS.You can easily configure DNS(Domain Name Server) on your VPS through Direct Admin. It doesn’t require much technical knowledge. First of all you will require a VPS with Direct Admin installed on it. By following the below steps you can configure DNS on your VPS:-
1) First login to DirectAdmin panel and after that go to user level and select domain management area and add a domain. Once you enter yourdomain.com there and you will automatically get confirmation that domain had already been setup.
2) Now only domain name server part is remaining. Go to Reseller level select name server management. Just select two IP’s and create domain name server with the domain you have already created above. Now your name servers will be ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com
4) Now you will need to contact your domain registrar (like 123, Enom etc..) and enter the nameservers there.
Note: Only creating and running a domain name server will not work. First you will have to register your name server with your domain registrar. Only then your DNS entry will be accepted.
5) Once you have registered your DNS , now update your custom name servers which will be accepted without any errors.
