for some reason its not working but… on my resgistrar i created custom name servers that point to my ip address and i added 3 domains. all of them started working 
so its okay
well… after a few tests it sort of works…
i added 3 domains to hestiacp (with no dns support)
example.com , example2.com and example3.com
so i begin installing phpbb on example.com. all went okay (got some mysql errors but went fine anyway)
i had example2.com running for a month with wordpress using ip redirect from hosting that i have for A zone.
today on my registrar i added custom name server “ns1/2.example.com” with my public server ip
so today i changed to all 3 domains ns1 and ns2.example.com and they started working fine. some odd loading pages(slow) but it worked.
now i tried and all of them are down. if i ping the server ip it responds back with 20ms.
sometime example.com works with very slow first load… like 10 seconds for the first page to load. and the rest of the domains example2 and 3 are not working anymore.
what am i doing wrong ?
accessing hestiacp from ip works perfectly fine.
can i get some help please ?
If you share the actual domains maybe you could get more help.
can i pm you ?
Yes, you can but I don’t use DNS managed by Hestia
