Don't run your own NS servers to host websites with your domains. For a total beginner like you this is not a good idea at all. Especially bind is absolutely not beginner friendly. A space more or less at the wrong place and nothing works. Configuration is absolutely not user friendly.

Use a service such as CloudFlare, 1984.is, Hurricane DNS and similar. Just register a free account, add your domain there and use the provided name servers to point your domain at your registrar page to teh DNS service you signed up for. After that you can start creating DNS records for your domains.

So to use the domain with your VPS you simply create A records with IPv4 addresses and the hostname you want.


For a beginner I would recommend CloudFlare since they offer free unlimited DNS zones, with unlimited DNS records per zone and anycast DNS servers. A web interface is available for configuration and it's easy to use. So CloudFlare offers a pretty good service for free. In addition you get free CDN service (which you can disable if you want, by making the clouds at the DNS records overview table grey).

Look at their tutorials to find out how to create DNS records on their service:

- https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/...AA-records- (if you have IPv6 addresses, too)



The next step is to create vHosts in Apache with the right domains for the server names. This is how the server will known which website to display when opening a domain that is pointed to your server.
