DNS servers

Ok i went to zoneedit.com and got 2 name servers, went to where i registered my domain name and change the name servers to the 2 new ones. Now my question is how do i point them to my IP address/ server on my computer. do i need to change something in the httpd file or what do I need to do.

Thank You in Advance

Sorry a dummy at this stuff never done it before.

The "exactly how" depends on your OS. Regardless, the change is made in your "Network" configuration file for the server.

If I understood right ?

You have domian name "iamhere.com" and now have two new DNS IP's that know iamhere.com goes to 172.1.1.10 (which we'll say is your web server's static IP) that I'll further assume you received from your ISP. ?

If correct, then all you have to do is register the domain name, make sure the iamhere.com = 172.1.1.10 is set within the DNS tables and then wait

New name registration and DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to promagrate. So you might be able to use the iamhere.com URL today or the day after. In the interim, you can just use the IP address.

I just checked out zoneedit.com.

Question, why ?

Their cost seems a bit high. You should be able to get a DNS entry from your local ISP for say $10.00 maybe $15.00 a month with out the Per MB limit and fee.

If you using the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) then I can understand.

Just curious
