Nameserver Selection

A nameserver is a program that maintains a list of your domain names and their corresponding IP addresses, allowing visitors to find the domains hosted on your server. It is a vital component of the networking setups of most servers. However, servers using a remote nameserver do not need to configure their own.

Here you can select the nameserver you wish to use, if any.

Nameserver Advantages Disadvantages Notes
  • Configuration file can be manually edited.
  • Extremely configurable.
  • Provides a caching nameserver.
  • Very tolerant of syntax errors in zone files.
  • Large memory footprint.
  • Very high performance.
  • Instant start-up.
  • Low memory requirements.
  • This is the default choice.
  • Built-in support for DNSSEC.
   
  • This option will disable the nameserver. If you are serving dns as part of a cluster you may not need to run one locally.
