Adding a DNS Server

[Biggeral2004]

What is my DNS server address and How do I setup a DNS server.

I went here-
https://----------------------------/bind8/
But It says The BIND DNS server /usr/sbin/named could not be found on your system. Maybe it is not installed, or your BIND module configuration is incorrect.


Can someone please help me.


And then is there ANY like hosting control panel that comes with this?

You ordered a Debian server, which has only the bare essentials installed (SSH and Webmin). This is done intentionally. Most Debian users prefer to customize their servers, and it is so easy to install packages that it doesn't make sense to install a ton of stuff that most people will not use. If you are not familiar with Debian Linux, I would recommend reading over the Debian site and documentation (http://debian.org) and becoming veryyy familiar with the apt-get and dpkg commands. As for BIND, you can install it by logging into your server through SSH (using your primary user id) then running the following:

# su -
Password: <enter root password here>
# apt-get update
# apt-get install bind

You can also install bind9 instead of bind.

There aren't any control panels for Debian yet. cPanel has a release for Debian but it is still in beta development. I do not recommend using beta cPanel for anything more important than a toaster.

You can request a product change for your current server. Just use the "Server/Product Change Request" category in the Request Support form. The server will be reloaded, so if you have any data on the server that you want to keep, make sure you download it first.
