How to link my domain name to my server IP address

[Excaliber22]

I'm really new to the hosting game. I have a registered domain name but I don't know how to link it to my webserver's IP address. Who takes care of that????

I have the hardware and the bandwidth for dedicated server hosting.

I have 2 T1 lines for bandwidth, 2 Sun Cobalt RaQ 4 Servers running Solaris 8, and a Win2k server


Any help would be greatly appreciated, so I can get this thing off the ground

setup your own dns or use a free dns nameserver to point to your IP. Eg http://www.mydomain.com

that is a easy task...first you have default set your name server to local name server of the domain name seller you bought domain from. then go and add your domain in your hosting server account addon panel... then add a A record in your DNS of domain with the server ip...and you are done...to go alive..in hours..

Its very simple if you go to your manage domains options there it asks custom name servers
there we have to enter the name servers

[marc0079]

your best solution provider is the company from where you purchase the Domain name.They will give you CP of Domain name and you can set your IP address there.

You do not need a DNS server. If you registered your domain with the company, should be given some kind of DNS provider so you can point a domain somewhere. Just do a little ;Documents to show all your home IP.

I agree with the comments above. You should just need to got to your domain name control panel and change the DNS settings to use the IP you want, though in my case, my host gave me a name server to plug in...
Did you ever get this working?

You can point your domain to your hosting account address by going in your domain registration account and point it to your server. It's simple.

[crazed-jesse]

Well were missing a little information also.

- If you are hosting these servers your self and if so, what are you running as far as webserver software (apache IIS etc)

If this is the case let us know what your using there are many options for pointing your domain but there may be a very easy way to do it.
