### DOMAIN - NAME SERVERS

In domain registrar
1. Create ns1.example.tld and ns2.example.tld glue records and point them both to the Digital Ocean droplet IP address.
For verification check here http://ping.eu/nslookup/ if ns1.example.tld resolving name to vps ip then ok, now you can use own DNS name.
2. Set nameservers to ns1.example.tld and ns2.example.tld.

In Vesta CP
1. Under "Web", add example.tld. (ok)    
2. Under "DNS", edit domain and select child-ns template. In SOA write ns1.example.tld    
3. Under "Packages", edit "default" and set ns1.example.tld and ns2.example.tld as nameservers.
