the main reason that i want to have my own primary DNS is that i want to
have an "ISP Panel" that i'm building from scratch in python.
thank you for your help!
can you help me with the zones?
i heared that you can manage BIND from a MySQL DB, is it true? archwiki
page?

It's not necessary from the technical point of view, but almost all registrars require at least two servers for reliability -- if there's only one server and it goes down, your entire domain (with subdomains, mail, web, everything) goes down.
However, there are several free secondary NS services:
- https://dns.he.net/ - http://freedns.afraid.org/ - http://www.buddyns.com/ - http://www.zoneedit.com/ - Others, google.
Some VPS hosts, such as Linode, also offer secondary NS for customers.
(Most of them also offer primary NS, but it's usually managed through a crappy web UI, so let your own server be primary.)
also can ANYONE explain me the zones in detail? i've read the wiki a lot of times...
If you could please ask something more specific...
