Nice tutorial, but how does it apply in real world
Example:
Purchased a domain name and has access to Cpanel, there are some DNS and has ip for the website ?
So my question is that , how l can redirect those DNS to my webserver which l own (centos) in my house , or how l can configure my DNS to host l website , because this tutorial does seem to be a help in my case !

Thanks,

In reply to Rahul. That is exactly why I am confused. If its supposed to be in /var/named/chroot why did you specify /var/named/demoteadmin.net/db instead of its actual location /var/named/chroot/var/named/demotecadmin.net.db I am sorry I am just confused, I am not understanding.

In reply to Rerehja. Hi Rerehja, This is chroot environment for bind server. While running bind in chroot environment /var/named/chroot/ works as root (/) directory for bind service. It increase more security to to your dns server.

I am confused as to why you have “vim /var/named/chroot/var/named/demotecadmin.net.db” for the zone file but in your named.conf you have “file “/var/named/demotecadmin.net.db”;”
