Here's my case:

I got my domain from a registrar.

I got my VPS up from a provider who also offers free DNS hosting, on their own server (separately from my VPS, IP:111.111.111.111). So I got these third-party nameservers, lets name them:

  • ns1.provider.com
  • ns2.provider.com

and pointed my domain registrar to them. I let it propagate for 24 hours so I believe its ok. (if I ping my domain I get the IP for these nameservers - 111.111.111.111)

Afterwards I headed to my providers cPanel (the one they gave me for the DNS hosting service) and changed the default A Record IP from 111.111.111.111 to the IP associated with my VPS (IP:222.222.222.222).

The last step, as I see it, is to configure my VPS via Kloxo panel and add the domain.

Can someone guide me how can I achieve that? Is it just enough to create a new DNS Template and add as Primary DNS "ns1.provider.com" and Secondary DNS "ns2.provider.com"?

Every tutorial I found is using Kloxo to create local nameservers on the same VPS which is something I want to avoid to save resources..
