In previous tutorials, we explained how to set up authoritative DNS servers and edit DNS records from the command line. However, some folks prefer to use a web GUI to edit DNS records. This tutorial is going to show you how to set up authoritative DNS servers with Webmin, which is a free open-source web-based control panel, so you can edit DNS records with a web interface.
What’s An Authoritative DNS Server?
If you own a domain name and want your own DNS server to handle name resolution for your domain name instead of using your domain registrar’s DNS server, then you will need to set up an authoritative DNS server, which is also known as a name server.
An authoritative DNS server is used by domain name owners to store DNS records. It provides authoritative answers to DNS resolvers (like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1), which query DNS records on behalf of end-users on a PC, smartphone, or tablet.
Webmin uses BIND as the DNS server. BIND (Berkeley Internet Name Domain) is an open-source, flexible and full-featured DNS software widely used on Unix/Linux due to its stability and high quality.
