There aren't many provider besides buyvm and intodns, who offers Free DA license. DA Internal license alone has a higher cost.

If 512MB works then you can get a slice.

For DirectAdmin a minimum 1 GB of memory is required, according to this https://www.directadmin.com/install.php

512mb works fine. Might need a bit more temporary swap during compiling but it's fine, especially for just DNS.

Or, ya know, ya could always..

ns1:~$ ls -1 [..]nsd/zones/master/| wc -l
114
ns1:~$ free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            237         128          19           0          90         114

My wc -l is 99.

Can confirm DNS is fine on 512MB.

Thanks for the info

@AnthonySmith in UK or @Francisco for other locations. I use them and highly recommend them.

As for 512MB for DA. As Fran said it’s fine. Just add a 1GB swap and all will compile fine.

I also have a VPS with @AnthonySmith and a free DA license. Can recommend!

I have to say that I appreciate this form of response. There was no vehement response, no immediate dismissal - just a "not what I want".

Personally, I'd suggest setting up only the primary with an admin interface, and then syncing across to the secondary nameservers - less maintenance as long as you keep things firewalled tight. Extra management overhead if you don't have system setup to be secure is going to take more work.
