<strong>“PowerDNS … Is to change DNS of DO´s for my private dns but… just in a domain or in “N” domains?”</strong> <br> <br>Also make sure you register the nameserver records at your registrar so that they resolve to your droplet.
<b>“I should Install LAMP? or Virtual hosts?”</b> <br> <br>Those two are <b>NOT</b> mutually exclusive. It’s possible to deploy virtual hosts on a LAMP stack. <i>See</i> <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-centos-6”>How To Set Up Apache Virtual Hosts on CentOS 6</a>. In the alternative, see <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-nginx-virtual-hosts-server-blocks-on-centos-6”>How To Set Up nginx Virtual Hosts (Server Blocks) on CentOS 6</a> <br> <br><b>“What´s better… ubunto or centos?”</b> <br> <br>Better, in what sense? That’s almost an impossible question to answer. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. You’re essentially asking <b>Who’s better, Michael Jordan or Lebron James?</b> <br> <br><b>“PowerDNS … Is to change DNS of DO´s for my private dns but… just in a domain or in “N” domains?”</b> <br> <br>N domains
