Point DNS to VPS - How DNS works
I'm moving from a sharedhosting to a VPS and I'm struggling with DNS'. My
hosting company only provides me my VPS' IP, and my domain, say
mydomain.com is registered a registrar called bookmyname.com. This
registrar seems to provide me with 3 DNS called nsa.bookmyname.com (and
nsb, nsc).
After contacting my hosting company, they told me I had to run my own dns
server because they didn't provide one for the basic VPS solution I have.
I also read about setting up bind9 on my server, but I'm not sure if it's
what I'm supposed to do in this case. How could I host the dns server on
the same server that runs the web server. Isn't the DNS supposed to make
the connection between the client and the web server ? I think I'm missing
something fundamental here about how DNS works, what is it ?
