Hello,
I succesfully installed virtualmin. I have set up one domain as virtual server , this works. I see my HTML uploaded to that domain.
However, I now try to set up multiple domains in virtualmin. So I created a sub-server (thats how virtualmin calls it), being my domain. I tried to use own nameservers for this domain, which I have setup in my master domain.
But this does not work. Why does this not work, and any info/tutorials on how to set up multiple domains in virtualmin, and what NS settings to use?
To summarize my question: I have 2 domainnames registered by an external domain registar. I want both domains running on a single VPS. How can I do this?
Thanks a lot in advance! Been bugging with this the whole day.

Thanks Pablo, you made it al much clearer now. I will definitively look for a new registar, and I agree that just using one nameserver would not be smart (yes, there is going to run production apps on the VPS…). I think, until I have more knowloedge of nameservers, I just will go with ns1, 2 and 3 of digitalocean. That seems like the most safe option right now.
Glue records are not A records, they’re two different things. I would contact the registrar and see if they support glue records.
