For last couple of days I have been playing with DO’s VPS and I’m satisfied. I was just wondering about one thing, DNS. I am going to install zpanel (if you are not familiar with zpanel, then just think about cpanel or plesk or directadmin etc.). And I’ll add a domain to one droplet and will configure the name servers both in my domain control panel and in DO’s DNS server. So, instead of using DO’s ns name,
ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com
I’ll use
ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com ns3.mydomain.com
But I’m not going to setup 3 separate droplets for the dns, I’ll use the IPs of DO’s like,
198.199.120.125 141.0.170.89 198.199.95.114
Now, when I add a new domain (xyz.com) through zpanel and for domain NS if I use
ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com ns3.mydomain.com
then it should work perfectly. So am I right or did I miss something?
Thank you.

Since you are going to use our DNS services for resolving the domains you would also need to add those domains to the DigitalOcean domain manager: <br> <br>https://www.digitalocean.com/domains <br> <br>Then it should work. =]

If you’re going to use DigitalOcean’s DNS service’s IP addresses, you should add them to the DNS manager in your account control panel in order for the domain to resolve.
