So if I would like to create a website called example.com
( just an example ). I have name the nameservers ns1.mynameserver.com
and ns2.mynameserver.com
, which have A records for example.com
. How would I add nameservers to my domain, and how would I make this domain public? I have a MacBook (for hosting server), and 2 linux computers for nameservers (both ubuntu)

by the way, I dont want to have to use an external site to register a domain. I want to create this completely manually.– CamdenJan 19, 2018 at 12:51

1You have no idea what you are talking about... Read up on the fundamentals about how DNS operates.– SvenJan 19, 2018 at 13:12

You have to register the domain name with a domain registrar. Then they can point the the domain to your DNS servers what you can edit as you like later.

1There is. Any device accessing your website just needs to point their DNS to your nameservers. For personal or internal projects this may be acceptable. For general use, you would find it difficult to get the entire world to point to your DNS ;-) Jan 19, 2018 at 12:54

If there was a way without a registrar then people could steal domains for their own use. A registrar is responsible for a given TLD (e.g. .com, .co.uk) and holds the name server records for that domain, along with who is responsible for it. They charge a fee for this service. If you want the world to see it, you must use a registrar, if it's private then just update your local name servers and point the clients at those name servers. Jan 19, 2018 at 16:06
