In addition, if you don't know what you are doing with DNS, particularly with Bind, you could become a victim of exploits very easy. People can use your DNS to attack other sites and before you know it your VPS is suspended.

Totally agree here with you. NS servers if configured wrong are a powerful (D)DoS weapon and they're quickly abused for that by automated bots just looking for find a misconfigured server. This will get you quickly suspended and thrown off a provider.

DNS amplification attack is a key term you want to look up if you want to know what the dangers of misconfigured NS servers are.

CloudFlare has bit of stuff to read about it, too . They literally have everything around DNS that happened in the last years since they started business.
