Vesta Control Panel - Forum

I am using Digital Ocean's DNS control panel and using their name servers for redundancy as I only have one VPS. With that said, is it wise to disable named service so it isn't consuming memory, or does that need to remain for other functionality to occur like a lookup to an RBL in Spamassassin, for example? Basically Vesta CP's DNS functionality I do not plan on using right now and would like to disable it's services used so I can save the system memory from it.

Code: Select all

service named stop
chkconfig —del named

Thank you imperio. I have done this now and will watch and see how it goes. So far so good. :-)

Hi, excuse me, are there any way to remove the DNS button in a case like this when it's not using this service? Thanks in advance.
