Dedicated host and DNS setup

Asked by stefanaichholzer in Networking, Web Servers, Web Hosting

Tags: , ,

Ok, here's the deal. I just got a dedicated host with Debian and with Webmin which works just fine. The thing is I have some domains I would like to point to this domain but I don't have a clue about the DNS servers I should use. I've read I need to setup my own DNS on my dedicated server and then point my domains to this DNS (on my machine) I've created.

As far as I know I need to create a zone and all that, but I'm clueless about it. I also know that if I create my own DNS I will have no redundancy as the both DNS will be on the same machine, but I don't really worry about that.

Ok, now here's the thing, I need to know how to setup this entire thing on Debian, I can use Webmin but I can use the SSH access I have as well, I have to say I'd rather use Webmin since that's easier to explain others in case I'm not around. ;)

Please give me a hand as soon as possible as I need to get this thing going. One more thing, please keep in mind that I only have one IP for my dedicated host and both DNS will have to be created with this IP number (but you probably already know this.)

Thank you very much.Start Free Trial
