Yes, I have two static IP addresses. One is for DNS server and one is for my website.Excuse me, I just have one server for DNS and that tutorial is about secondary DNS server too. Can you show me another tutorial with one server and same goal?The Internet DNS server for my goal is "Authoritative DNS" ?

technically do it. Probably the registrar's name servers will be more
reliable however. I'll also assume that your public IP is static.
Otherwise it may only be suitable for the website, with a Dynamic DNS
service that can regularly update the records as your IP changes. This
means that you'll have to use someone else's DNS servers to host your
records.

You can run BIND locally and make it an authoritative name server. Your
router can port forward traffic to port 53/udp to your local IP that
your DNS server is on. There are various tutorials online for making
authoritative DNS servers, such as this one: 
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-bind-as-an-authoritative-only-dns-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
.

At the registrar you'll need to select "custom name server" or
something along those lines. Then you have to insert NS records there
that point to the nameserver addresses for your domain(s). Check your
registrar's documentation for instructions on how to add NS records.
