Installing DNS on a VPS
Hi!
I've been trying to configure DNS on my VPS for the last few hours and I just can't get it to work even though I've been googling like crazy. Is anyone here willing to help me out?
Regards,

Get webmin?
How can you factor in VAT when comparing since you are subject to VAT on everything? Obviously purchases made outside the EU are not going to be collected with VAT, but are you not still responsible to pay it on your own? - Tim Flavin from "Hostigation.com"

Tell us about your current VPS environment first. Do you already have a control panel installed?

I don't have a control panel installed, I'm trying to install everything with SSH. Should I get some control panel instead? What control panel in that case? Preferably for free or an one-time cost. By the way, it's only 512MB RAM so I'd prefer something pretty light-weight.

Get Webmin for easer administration. If you not familiar with CLI, webmin will make some nice tune in comfort point.

I'm using them and it's working perfectly fine for me.
Make sure you're actually setting A addresses, not URL redirects or URL frames or any of that nonsense.
Here's a guide I googled for you, see if it helps:

If the above still doesn't solve your problems, why don't you screenshot your current NameCheap DNS configuration and share it?

You can install Cpanel DNS only

Agree with tsj5j that using dns of domain provider is a better solution if private nameserver is not required.PremiumReseller.com Hyper-V SSD VPS USA London Singapore
