Setup Private DNS Nameservers for Your Domain with Bind9

You have registered a new domain name, but you dont want to point your nameservers on your hosting provider. Wouldnt it be professional and stylish if you have own dns nameservers ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com! You can setup and run your own bind DNS server if you have a VPS or dedicated server with atleast 2 IP Addresses. Most domain registrars compulsarily ask for two nameservers.

I am writing this tutorial keeping it as simple and easy to understand, as DNS concepts are quite difficult to understand and are only limited resources on the Web. One would reckon that DNS is quite regardard as invisible force on the Internet without which everybody would be typing Ip addresses on the internet without names. .It isnt that hard to run your own nameservers and can done with command line on linux!
