CPanel DNSonly

| I would like to add another dns server and I was wondering if how much RAM is needed for a dnsonly installation on a VPS?
Thanks

| It totally depends on the number of zones. It requires a minimum amount of ram to run itself probably not more than 256mb and that would include a modest size number of zones.

| I have run them on 128, but I'd say 256 is good. 512 on the high end.

| I have a cPanel DNS server using only 66MB RAM (though the installer needs at least 256MB)

| 256MB is the minimum, though hardly ever DNS-only needs that much.
I've ran it with 256MB and 512MB clustered with more than 20'000 zones and no problems.

| Ok thanks everyone! Have you tried running apache on your dns servers?

| Well, I have experienced running DNS hosting on server with 96 MB of RAM and have had reasonably good performance from it.
Hope this helps.

| I'm hosting about 1200 websites, and I have 2 dns only vpses, both have 256mb ram and they're working great

| On 128MB ram you will find frequent service crash mostly during the cpanel updates, On 256 it would smooth sailing.
