Custom Name Server - Not able to make it work.

[azadshaikh]

Hi,

I have gone through Documentation. And followed the steps there. But I am not able to make it work.

Can someone share how to setup custom name server for my vesta powered VPS.

Again I already tried the method provided in Documentation.

Please help.

I love Vesta and using it on 5 VPS right now. Till now I was using Cloudflare for my DNS. Please help.

Step 1:
Create Host names for custom nameservers at your domain registrar for yourdomain.com.

ns1.yourdomain.com > point to your VPS IP
ns2.yourdomain.com > point to your VPS IP

Allow some time for this to update. This may even take upto 24 hours.

Step 2:
At your domain registrar, now change nameservers for yourdomain.com to ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com.

Allow some time for this to update. This may even take upto 24 hours.

Step 3:
Inside VestaCP, set the custom nameservers by editing the default package and any other package that you want to use.

Step 4:
Inside VestaCP, go to DNS menu and click "EDIT" for yourdomain.com and change the template to "child-ns".

Done. The whole process may take upto 24 hours to work properly.

Thanks much for response. I am still trying. I think I should now wait for 24 hours before jumping to next step.

In my case, the whole process took about 1.5 hours to update. My domain registrar is godaddy. Also don't forget to do a server reboot after Step 4, just in case. Hope this works for you :)

I was try to do this, but unsuccessful, who can help me? How can i create 1 dns server for all domains?

Hi fellow experts. My domain registrar is namecheap & my domain let say, example.com

In namecheap dashboard, at "advanced dns" I put 2 nameserver & point to my ip,
ns1.example.com > server ip
ns2.example.com > server ip

Then I go to "domain" tab in namecheap & try to assign both nameserver to a domain but it show error. Is this because the nameserver not yet propagate with my server ip? Or, did I do the steps wrong?

Oh sorry, wrong questions. Need a clarify.

Now I can add custom dns at namecheap.

The step I made, create 2 A record at your domain registrar, ns1 & ns2, both pointing to my server ip > assign ns1 & ns2 as your domain's dns > assign ns1 & ns2 as your hosting dns at vestacp.

Is this correct?

Btw, can I use namecheap's default dns. At vestacp, I put NC's default dns on my domain hosting. Will this also work?
