After you purchase your VPS account with a Webhost, they will provide you with VPS Server IP and control panel login.
Lets assume its 100.123.10.1 [http://100.123.10.1:5353/login.php – This IP is different than your website IP ]
Login with assigned username / password. Once you Login you find another IP and Your website name entry on right Panel [ Click on Manage Icon, on right side]
You Will see Like this.
VPS provider also Provide another IP, thats for your website (Eg:200.192.100.99), Same IP can be seen in your VPS control Panel.
Now Login into your Domain Registrar Control Panel, Where you registered your Webiste [ eg : mywebiste.com ]
Goto your Name Server section, there you will find Child name server option into new VPS name servers, as you are creating your own Name servers based on your Website hosted on VPS.
Creat 1st name server add name as “ns1.mywebsite.com” and its IP 200.192.100.99
Creat 2nd name server add name as “ns2.mywebsite.com” and its IP 200.192.100.99
Same IP can be used to creat multiple nameservers, if your Domain registrar(DR) is not supporting multiple IPs ask your DR to configure for you.
Mean While You can buy Another IP from VPS provider, If you want to keep stable Nameservers.
Once you done with adding Nameservers on DR, you can creat name servers pointing to your website in your VPS panel in KLOXO panel later.

LITTLE TWEEK
From shell panel, you can run “top” unix command to see the memory usage of your VPS server; or from VPS panel itself.
if you are in Shell panel, just go to /etc, there you will find a file called “my.cnf” open it with “vi” and add these 2 line
At below [mysqld] add this :
skip-bdb
skip-innodb
save my.cnf, then restart mysqld [ service mysqld restart ]
hope this will reduce almost 100K of your memory usage.
ANYONE NEED ANY HELP CONFIGURING, LET ME KNOW.
