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.
When you registered the domain it will usually have the DNS authority
parked on the registering agents DNS servers. The agent will normally
provide some way where you can subsequently change the DNS records. Have a
look at the registering agents website - they probably have a facility for
you to log in and manage the DNS records associated with your domain - if
they don't then fire them and get your domain transfered to a decent
registrar.
I doubt you want your own DNS servers - by the rules you are supposed to
provide two, a primary and secondary which each have to have their own
distinct publically accessible IP address, preferably not on the same
subnet. You then get your registrar to change the domain registration so
that your own DNS servers are authorative for the Domain. I really doubt
that your would want to go to this trouble for one domain.
