Setting up DNS on a Linux Dedicated Server – Part 2
If you want to start a serious online business, you might want to consider looking for cheap dedicated hosting. By definition, dedicated hosting means that the webmaster rents an entire server, which is not shared with anybody.
This is much more convenient than shared hosting because you, as the webmaster, have full control over the server, including choice of operating system, hardware, etc. Administration, however, is still handled by the hosting company.
The greatest advantage of using dedicated hosting is that your website performance will not be affected by high traffic websites with which you would have been sharing your server’s bandwidth. The dedicated hosting environment provides an exclusive server or servers devoted solely to your web site. You do not share a server with other customers, and you avoid shared hosting.
Before dedicated servers, a webmaster used to have two hosting options, the low-priced shared hosting model and the premium-priced dedicated server. A person who bought space on a shared host would receive a certain amount of disk space and monthly transfer, and would have the site served from a common web server.
The hosts would try to provide a wide range of options for the webmaster, in order to increase to popularity of their products. But, unfortunately, a customer who needed a non-standard program installed or who wanted to use a privileged account in order for a particular utility to run would be completely not allowed to achieve these goals.
One example might be a site which required a database to store the priceless information. Many hosts would provide the MySQL database to use on their servers. If your application required another type of database, then it wouldn’t be compatible with the shared hosting account.
Users who don’t fit into the standard shared hosting model and find that it doesn’t work anymore for them, or whose sites grew very popular and required a large amount of resources have one alternative though: hosting their sites on a dedicated server.
A dedicated server can be customized to exactly fit the needs of a site developer. That’s where the name is from. If a particular database were needed, it could be installed instantly, as there were no other users to please.
While dedicated servers can be customized and can handle much more traffic than a shared hosting account, their enhanced performance can sometimes come with a high price tag.
A typical dedicated server can cost hundreds of dollars per month depending on its size, network connectivity and the amount of management required from the hosting provider. That’s why you need to be sure that you want to take your business seriously, and you need a dedicated server. And with all the competition going on out there, you might just find some cheap dedicated hosting.

You can try Rackspace , Servermatrix and Peer 1 networks. The prices are from lowest to highest in the same order.
That’s genuine redundancy, and is a fine and easy point-n-click method. You can easily set up webmin to be a slave for your hosting provider’s DNS setup for that redundancy…
But that’s not what we were discussing above.
Wal-mart maybe target or best buy
is the DNS server running on the same machine as your domain server or is it a separate machine.
You setup 2 nameservers on the server simply because most domain registrars as well as dns standards out there require 2 nameservers setup. So, This is simply a “fast” and inexpensive way to provide the registrar with the 2 nameservers. Also, genuine redundancy is very costly either way you put it. Yes there are free solutions out there, but even those require know how, time and development cost to get it right. This method is a quick, poor-mans server setup and is quite common.
Five minutes with more or less point-n-click is “know how, time and development cost to get it right”? If you configure one DNS server at your registrar and one with your hoster (two different companies and two different networks) how is that not “genuine redundancy”? My hoster has 5 different internet connections at two different locations. How is that not “genuine redundancy”? It’s all included in the price of the hosting services. This is neither expensive nor time consuming.
i have found Cheap Dedicated Server Company here .you can buy a dedicated server with about $89/month.
Try out Aplus servers they are fast and relaible … even wild west domain or go daddy offers dedicated servers but those are very costly. If you want more links just visit my site and at the top right box you will see scrolling 125 x 125 banners of lost of hosting cliets who offer dedicated servers.
If you want something cheaper and relaible contact me for my own quote.

2) I didn’t mean to imply that ns1 will always be queried before ns2 (most resolver implementations will query ns1 first, but as you correctly pointed out, that’s not guaranteed). The point was to have redundancy (which is why the resolvers will also usually put out queries in pairs, just in case one query times out, as suggested by RFC 1034)
If you want the quck’n'easy “poor mans” way, just use your registrar’s DNS service. 90% of registrars today give you an extremely decent DNS service included with your domain
dns doesn’t work like the way you think it does. If you had ns1 on one server and ns2 on another, it would load whichever nameserver loads fastest. there is no rhyme or reason to which NS will load first or second. So, if you had enough money to afford 2 boxes + realtime sync software ($10000’s of $) then you can do what you’re proposing. Otherwise, registrars require you to register more than one ns so you need to setup 2 nameservers on the same server.
3) Putting two nameservers on the SAME machine is completely useless and never a good idea, for the reason I mentioned above. If you have one machine, then use some external DNS host for your backup. They’re a dime a dozon, with many perfectly capable multi-homed free solutions out there.
Your best bet is to look for managed dedicated game server hosting on google or yahoo, swear to god that you will find at least 30 of them!
1) I’m not sure why you think you have to pay $10,000s for realtime sync software; that’s what zone transfers and ntp are for. In any case the chances of having a request whose answer will change in increments so frequesnt that you suggest might be necessary is not realistic (especially given a guaranteed minimum 1 second cache time for ANY DNS response)
