DNS server (BIND) VPS requirements.

iamdanhenry · 2014-04-07 15:21:53

I am looking into renting a VPS (or 2) and I have actually found some pretty good deals.

I can save a good bit of money per yer if I sacrifice storage space.

My question is, does anyone have a DNS server that they can check out or possibly know off hand about how much disk space it is actually using?

I know that a DNS server doesn't use a ton of resources, but I am just trying to get a general idea.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel

You should be able to run a DNS server on any available spec of VPS.

I'd estimate less than a GB of storage should be sufficient for a base Arch install + Bind.

I did end up getting a vps for this, with 1gb of disk space. Using for just a resolving dns it is plenty.

I am just concerned if i wanted to do a caching dns server, that the space might add up quickly.
