As the wiki states you must run at least one T1 opennic server. It is a requirement of T1 servers to slave all the TLD's in the opennic namespace and I would highly recomend bind because of this.

In my opinon a VPS should be fine as long as it has enough ram and bandwidth however I have never run a T1 server so I am unaware of how much ram or bandwidth you will need.

Hi Guys,

A friend and I are interested in proposing a new TLD and would like to get some recommendations on hardware and software to run the servers.

Would a couple of decently powered VPS, say the $15 one from vultr.com, be enough to run the server, or should it be on a dedicated server from the off, if so what kind of spec should I aim for?

I currently run my own nameservers for my own sites using PowerDNS with a MySQL backend, could the same setup be used, or do I need to run BIND to be able to mirror the root data of the other NIC's?

If there are any other recommendations that could be made to a prospective new admin then I would be more than happy to hear it.

Many Thanks
Paul
