My webpanel as DNS server
« on: April 09, 2025, 07:41:38 PM »
Hi dear group... I would like to set my webpanel server as a DNS server. I have set some domains in my webpanel server, but when I set the public IP of my server, as DNS IP in my windows PC... It does not ping to a my domains in Webpanel server.... Is it necessary any configuration additional to by default to achieve this objective please?

Thanks by your attention....

I don't recommend trying to self-host DNS. At minimum, you need 2 static IP'd servers on separate subnets in order to be more resilient against DDoS attacks. Personally, I would recommend using Cloudflare for DNS, as they have the infrastructure to resist or mitigate those kinds of attacks. Plus, the geo-located servers are very responsive and replicate changes globally nearly instantly.

Your first requirement is to setup your own nameservers.  Most Registar's call these either GLUE records or HOST records.  You need to log in and create at least 2 records (Ex ns1 and ns2). 

Then change the Nameservers in CWP to use your custom nameservers

I highly recommend a second server somewhere to host the second DNS server.
