Hello all,

I registered a domain name. Now I want that name to resolve to the IP
address I have on my server at home. So when people type in the name
they arrive at my server. I have no CLUE as to how to do this. I know
DNS basics, but not how to do something practical such as this.

Well, if you want to run your own DNS server:

If you have a static IP address, then need to give your IP to the company
from which you bought your domain name.

If you have a dynamic IP address, then you may want to use something like
DynDNS:
