Create My Own Namservers?

[SC__Programmer]

Can i set up my own nameservers?

 

Kinda like ns1.mysite.co.cc?

Yeah you can. You just need a server running a name server such as bind or nsd.

 

Check out http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/nsd/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIND, http://www.isc.org/software/bind, and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSD if you're curious to read more about it.

I would recommend djbdns to their security guarantee versus BIND, which is known to have security holes.

All I see is "access denied" at that link.

 

Maybe this is the right link? http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html

It depends a lot on your operating system. What OS are you running?

I would NOT recommend running a server on windows, you will be sorry when your computer gets hacked.
