Change / Mask DNS in VPS

[feerdispzoo]

Hello everyone,
im using VPS server from contabo.

We provide shared hosting to several clients. Currently, they have to redirect to DNS, e.g. ns1.contaboserver.net. ns2.contaboserver.net.

Can this provider name be masked somehow so that there is a DNS redirection with my brand name in DirectAdmin?

The second thing, when customer log in to SSH, then is:

Is anyway change this brand?

I use the same hoster.

The banner can be removed by deleting the /etc/motd file.

The DNS should not be a problem since DA will install a DNS server for you. (But your hosting domain needs to have an NS1 and NS2 record pointing to that server IP.)

And last I would also suggest to change the reverse DNS lookup domain to the domain that u use with for the DA panel as it can create issues for mail servers if it still point to contabo’s domain. (Domain not matching with what some mail servers would expect.)

@realcryptonight thank you ! first issue resolved by deleteing file motd

the second with DNS:
Should I only change this names in DNS Administartor:


and then when I point domain to this dns name, should be work everything?

They way I have it configured is:

For myhostdomain.com I use contabo's DNS. (And have there my directadmin, ns1 and ns2 records configured.)

For directAdmin I let DirectAdmin deal with DNS stuff.
And thus I use ns1.myhostdomain.com and ns2.myhostdomain.com. (In my case ns2.myhostdomain.com is another server with dns sync.)
And when I buy new domains I configure the name servers to also point to ns1.myhostdomain.com and ns2.myhostdomain.com.

I hope this helps and if you have more questions let me know.

Really thank you for your explain. Before I do this changes, can you please help me confirm I correct understand this step?

1) First I need buy new domain for DNS server. example: mydomainfordnsserver.net
2) Now I need redirect this domain to original DNS contabo:
- ns1.contaboserver.net ns2.contaboserver.net
3) Now I need login to my vps and in directadim in Administration DNS section I need change original dns from:
(ns1.contaboserver.net ns2.contaboserver.net) to ns1.mydomainfordnsserver.net ns2.mydomainfordnsserver.net )

And then everytime when I buy new domains and when I redirect new domains to ns1.mydomainfordnsserver.net ns2.mydomainfordnsserver.net then should be work everything?

Im not sure do I understand this correct. Thanks for confirmation.
