I plan to create two DNS machines by enabling the multi-server feature of DA
Since the two machines will only have 02 GB of memory, what are the unnecessary services I can disable.

Can you please advise me?

That depends on what you will still need to do with those servers.
If you use them only for DNS, you might better choose for either the personal license which you can install as DNS machine, so you won't have a lot of services running, or use the free Directslave (also to be found on this forum), which is designed to work with DA servers using the multi-server feature.
 
This is the idea ( personal DA license) and I would like to know which services I can disable in order to save memory without altering the functioning of the machine as a DNS server (I have already installed DA on the two VPS)
 
Well again, that depends on what you want to do with the machine, next to DNS. If it's only DNS and no mail or websites, you can disable almost all services except the named/bind service. So you could disable FTP, Exim, Dovecot, Apache, php-fpm, da-popb4smtp.
Maybe also Mysql/MariaDB but I'm not sure about that.
You might need to keep Exim for system messages and pure-ftpd if you want to still be possible to login via ftp.
