I have a domain(from IndiaLinks) and a VPS server(from OVH with an IP). Consider the domain as mysite.com. Before purchasing this vps, I used to host it with shared hosting by adding the given nameservers under the delegation. But here I don't have nameservers.

I have installed Ubuntu 14.10 server, apache2, php5 and mysql in my VPS. I am facing many challenges here.

  • Can I use same domain as nameservers(ns1.mysite.com, ns2.mysite.com for mysite.com)?

So how to create the nameservers ns1.mysite.com and ns2.mysite.com in my VPS?

(Here I have few reference links but I am confused to use it based on my IP ) Reference 1 and Reference 2

What you need are called glue records: What is a glue record?

Essentially, without a glue record, your nameserver definition would be calling itself recursively; i.e., to resolve, ns1.mysite.com, first you have to resolve mysite.com, one step up.

  • Any step by step command idea to proceed? I am a pretty beginner. – Anshad Vattapoyil Mar 22 '15 at 17:00

    @devo They're defined within your registrar's control panel. If you're looking for a step by step guide, I'm going to have to recommend that you [do not host your own DNS](http://serverfault.com/questions/23744/should-we-host-our-own-nameservers). Authoritative DNS is too dangerous of a topic to begin your learning with because it risks instability of your domain. – Andrew B Mar 22 '15 at 18:11
