New to Server Administration, we all have to start somewhere.
I have been using shared hosting for years but i am trying out a VPS.
I purchased a VPS for 4 months trial with a single IP
Installed Webmin and Virtualmin on the server.
I have several domains with 123-reg.co.uk and godaddy.com but hosting with another company.
I want to leave the domains managed by these companies but change the hosting to my new VPS on SOME domains.
Now the VPS does not have a domain attached and only has a single IP
So my question, how do I configure domains so I can change the nameserver to point to my new server? (Setting up a DNS Server) as you would for any hosting company.
Regards
Jamie
You need to set up an A record on the domain to point to your VPS IP address.
In 123-reg go to 'manage domain' and you can edit the DNS records there.
Edit: if your VPS host provides DNS hosting then you can point the nameservers to them but as you said you want to keep the domains managed by the domain company then follow my suggestion above.

My domain register from godaddy site I don't know how to connect this domain form an azure server. I have added these DNS server names in godaddy.
ns1-03.azure-dns.com.
ns2-03.azure-dns.net.
ns3-03.azure-dns.org.
ns4-03.azure-dns.info.
Is it right or wrong? How do i manage my domain's DNS in Azure?
What it shows you by nslookup?
If you can see those NS code, yes right.
When your domain issued, you can see what name server(NS) using in your domain by nslookup or any nslookup web services.
Make sure, your domain issued, it would take times until get your domain more than 2days or less depends on domain service companies.
These NS value would print on your prompt or cmd querying domain.
ns1-03.azure-dns.com.
ns2-03.azure-dns.net.
ns3-03.azure-dns.org.
ns4-03.azure-dns.info.

I have brought one new VPS(unmanaged VPS) from a2hosting.com.
They provide me IP(199.195.116.118) and Nameservers (dns1.name-services.com and dns2.name-services.com).
My domain is omniitworld.com.
I have changed my domain's dns to dns1.name-services.com and dns2.name-services.com.
When I check DNS of omniitworld.com on mxtoolbox.com, it shows dns1.name-services.com and dns2.name-services.com.
It means my site's DNS is pointed to VPS DNS successfully.
But omniitworld.com does not show page I have created on VPS.
Do I have to do any else on VPS or what I have to do now.
Please help in detail.
DNS lookup of your domain shows that, A record of your domain is pointing to IP address "69.64.147.243", it should be pointing to your VPS IP address, i.e. "199.195.116.118".
https://www.accuwebhosting.com/resources/show-dns-records?q=omniitworld.com
It seems that you are using default nameservers of your registrar, "Enom Incorporated".
To point your domain to VPS, you'll have to change A record to "199.195.116.118".
Following tutorial will help you to achieve this.

Alternatively, you can contact Enom support for the same.

If my university uno.edu has all public IP addresses and it wants to add a department as a DNS subdomain i.e. cs.uno.edu
Will it typically handle the subdomain itself on it's local on campus DNS servers?
Or will it register that subdomain with a registrar?
Also, will windows server handle remote internet DNS requests?
I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out how powerful windows server DNS capabilities are.
uno.edu/computer-science is not a subdomain, but a URL. A subdomain would be computer-science.uno.edu.
The DNS server of the top-level-domain edu will reference to the DNS server of your university (uno.edu) and that one manages all subdomains on an local DNS server (like the aforementioned computer-science.uno.edu for instance). However, it's also possible that your university does not host an own DNS server if they don't need to manage subdomains.
And yes, Windows Server can certainly handle remote requests.

I changed hosting company which hosted my page to a other one but domain is still hosted by the old company. I can do two things:
- I can change "A" record in the old company control panel to point to new IP.
- I can input old company dns servers to control panel of new one
maybe I should figure out new company dns servers and input them in old company as external dns?
What should I do?
Both options are acceptable. The second option is more easy for you, because you should also enter CNAME and MX records if you choose the first one.

I brought few domain names from a domain register in my Country. So yea they manage the domain like change DNS etc. Is there a way that I can mange my own DNS.
Example:
Domain Register (DNS) points ---> DNS Manager Service (This is where I will manage the DNS) from my side. It will like a redirecting DNS just like we redirecting websites from one domain to another.
Hope you understand what am trying to say here. I don't whats its called. Did Google but even a clue what am looking for.
Thanks
You need a managed DNS service.
There is a nice list on wikipedia
Once you acquire one of these services, you will inform your domain register to point to the managed DNS site. Any request for your domains is forwarded to the managed DNS site. You will use a control panel on the managed site to further forward to your final destination (rented cloud server, server at home, construction page, etc)
