i need to denie that part
you CANT SEE A SINGLE website with out a good DNS server
do you know what dns do ??
dns = DOMAIN NAME Servers
a dns resolve a ip to a domain name or a domain name to a ip adress
why you think you need to setup your name servers to your ip of your server ??
as example
to use ns1.powerchaos.com then you need to create a subdomain to a second ip so it points to your server
and that can be done on 2 ways
or you set it up at your registrar ( so it directly points to there) or you make a sub domain called ns1 and point it to a free ip that get used as name server ip
if you dont do that then the DNS dont know where it points to and to where it need to go , solution , powerchaos.com will not work then
dns is exact the same
dns servers are servers that are conected to 1 big database that contains everything (like whois database)
so if you put your dns to localhost then it will not work , exept if your router take over the dns (they got dns build in to your isp provider)
but leaving dns emty or just putting in a random value will not work like you want it to work
if you dont know or your bad in remembering a ip adress then fill in this ip adress as dns
it cant be easyer to remember ( 4 numbers to remember isnt hard :P)
Code:
DNS1 = 8.8.8.8
DNS2 = 8.8.4.4
this are the 2 dns servers of google
to make it short
DNS is needed to resolve the domain name , els you can only work with ip adresses and thats not something you like to do ?? or are you that good in remembering ip adresses (like i need to do , i need to remember a ip adress of 50 lol)
