dns server need some info.

Hi, here's the thing, i want to setup a website, not only for my lan but for people to see on the net like any other website out there, i have follow some steps and i think i can setup pretty good a webserver with fedora, so now i need a domain name so that my site wiil be for example: www.myname.com, how do i setup a DNS server so that i can combine with the webserver and have my page up and runnig, and for people to see outside my private lan.

No need to run a DNS server for this (unless you really want to ).

I have a similar setup but all I do is change the A record on the domain name I own to my external IP address and forward the ports on my router to my web server. You should be able to change the domain's IP record through the control panel at the domain name provider, mine is 1&1 in the UK and it's simple for me to do but not all will allow it I would imagine.

Hope this helps,
Arthur
