Find a piece of software that does what you require, install and configure it with the help of documentation. BIND9 seems to be the most popular option at the moment. A tutorial can be found at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-bind-as-an-authoritative-only-dns-server-on-ubuntu-14-04

How To Configure Bind as an Authoritative-Only DNS Server on Ubuntu 14.04
by Justin Ellingwood
Bind, the most popular DNS server, is used as the backbone of much of the world's DNS system. In this guide, we will discuss how to configure a pair of DNS servers to act as master and slave authoritative-only DNS servers for your domains. We will be demonstrating this on Ubuntu 14.04.

    You need to have 2 servers ? , What I can not do with one?

    At least 2 nameservers are recommended for failover purposes as DNS is designed to be a high availability service.

    understand , and without these "NS" I can use ZPanel to host websites with separate domains ?.
    New Domains, DNS should they target? the NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM and NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM

    Yes, using DigitalOcean nameservers just means you have to update the records from within the DigitalOcean panel.

    why do you require NS servers? do you want to start a hosting business? I fully recommend you to pay a plan with Cloudflare and manage your NS servers there. Also you can use theirs for free with a free plan only difference is you don't use your own domain name but not a big deal.
