Resolved Plesk Nameserver Query

[wonkywombat]

Hi all,

New to the forums so firstly hello! - I have a question regarding nameservers.

I currently have a server with Plesk installed on Centos 7. I'm looking to set up my own nameservers, so for example, ns1~2.mynamservers.co.uk. I want to be able to use these nameservers on all domains/sites that are set up on my Plesk server without having to use ns1.domain etc.

Could someone point me in the right direction albeit an article/or steps on how to do this?

Any help is much appreciated!

Cheers!

Hi, welcome! Are planning to run/use your own nameservers? Or use a third party nameserver service?

Thank you for the reply. I'm looking to use my own nameservers, but I'm totally open to ideas!

Hey wonkywombat,

An easy way to do this is have two IPs on your server, register your nameservers ns1~2.mynamservers.co.uk with Nominet, and set ns1 and ns1 to those IPs on the server. Theres no DNS failover with this, your server goes down, so does the domains DNS.

Next step up would be to configure a small vps as a slave bind server

After that you can add more slave nameservers for resiliance.

Remember to configure the DNS template in the master Plesk server for the correct NS records on the domains.

You could always use AWS or Digital Ocean or for DNS;

Amazon Route 53

This extension provides the functionality needed for integration with Amazon Route 53. It is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service.
