Basically, my unmanaged VPS provider doesn't supply me with nameserver which I can use with my domain provider to route domain to my server.
As I've been told:
You need to configure the custom DNS server in your VPS, to setup the custom nameservers. Please refer the following article that would help:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch18_:_Configuring_DNS
Once you configure the nameserver records, please update the domain registrar panel with the custom nameserver details.
I tried to follow this guide but it seems to be a bit outdated, and I am complete newb with non-windows systems. I also scanned the google for other articles which could help me with this problem but, alas, nothing I found was of any value for someone who doesn't know this stuff better than his own pockets.
I realize this is quite a complex thing to do, but maybe there is some way to automate it? Or a better solution, like a paid service which would act as my nameservers (this one would be interesting), or even hoped to find some company which "rents" people to do stuff like that. Blah, any help will be appreciated, I am at a complete loss here.
I can follow some of these steps, but then I soon find that half of the files which are mentioned in the article are somehow not existing anywhere on the server which confuses me, and once we get to the point of creating Zone I can't really decipher all the things written there :/.
As per title, my system is Debian 5.0.
