Hello,

Im very curious about how to setup a dns service like everydns.net for example.

I mean, how hard is it? What programing knowledge do i need? What software do i need? etc...

Lets say i have a domain called abc.com and i want to start offering "free domain + dns service", so people can signup for www.YourName.abc.com and add it to their hosting account as a real domain name, due to the dns service on my server... how can i set this up? Any tutorials?

i created my nameservers at my domain registrar, then i edited my zone files to reflect the changes. i'm not sure if my hosting company had to do anything. don't think so.

your_name.my_domain.com appears to be subdomain, not actuall top level domain

I've written a system that does this already. What I do is use php to add the subdomains to the dns file and then just ndc reload the dns server I have running and store the subdomain in a mySQL database.

Let me know if you need any help doing this.
