Nameservers

[Doritos_Man]

I have a VPS with CentOS and Webmin installed
I am trying to get my domain to work with it
I need to create some nameservers on it
Can anyone help me?

Don't do this, I did this and it's not worth the effort.

Personally, setting up a nameserver seems to be impossible. I tried everything, googled, asked other people. There are guides but neither of them work, so I quit after like 5 hours of trying.

I'm pretty sure there are better 3rd party dns hosts that are free.
I use afraid.org.

Slow propagation and it's limited.

Use a DNS service or cPanel/DirectAdmin unless you're prepared to spend a long time googling and learning a lot of stuff to setup your own DNS, it's a bitch to do.

BIND + Webmin

I don't mind the first part. And what do yo mean it's limited? I just make an account for every domain I host on my server.

And

[compwhizii]

I think it still does, sadly.

Are all I need to add to my DNS is my A records?
Or do I need CNAME and the others

You can do either, A records are to IP addresses, and CNAME records are to things like ftp.domain.com
