It is very common in the hosting sector to have diversified server domains. This can sometimes suppose a problem if your domain registrar is limited when configuring namesevers or creating NS records. What is the solution to this? Use your own VPS as domain name server (DNS).

Gigas has developed a system by which every VPS server has two NameServers assigned pointing to the VPS IP address so you can use these two NS in your domains so they use your VPS DNS.

==What NS may I use?==
NS assigned to every IP are:
*Primary NS: <IP>.dnsgigas.es
*Secondary NS: <IP>.ns2.dnsgigas.es
'''<IP>''' must be replaced by the IP address of the VPS server you want to use as DNS Server.

''Example'':
*IP: 5.56.18.23
*Primary NameServer: 5.56.18.23.dnsgigas.es
*Secondary NameServer: 5.56.18.23.ns2.dnsgigas.es

==How to know my server IP address==

When you have successfully ordered a Gigas VPS server, you receive an email with your server details, your IP address being amongst them.

You can also find your server IP address in Gigas Control Panel, VPS Server section, making a click on your server name.

Once you have your NS configured, we are going to show you how to configure them in some of the most frequent domain registrars.

== Once the NS are configured, where can I manage DNS records?==
 
Answer is easy: in your Gigas server. In this example, we have a server with Plesk installed:

Access our server Plesk Control panel:

In the case that you access Plesk for the first time and you need help with the initial configuration, you can follow this manual:

Si es la primera vez que accedes a Plesk y necesitas ayuda con la configuración inicial puedes seguir este manual: [[How to enjoy your free Plesk license]].

Access the migration whose DNS you want to modify.

(Depending on the interfac you have configured in your Plesk, the screenshot might not be accurate).

Websites and Domains tab -> Unfold every domain option -> Click on "DNS configuration".

[[Archivo:dnsgigas15.png]]

On this screen you can find the DNS records used by your domain. It is here, in Gigas "DNS Records" where you must do any DNS modification as NS in your domain registrar point to your Gigas server.

By default, Plesk creates some basic DNS records from a template that you may adjust from Plesk "Tools and configuration".

Remember not to block 53/UDP port as it is used by the DNS service.
