[SOLVED] Apache + Domain

Hello:

I've correctly configured apache and it works fine when I put my public ip address on a browser (port 80) or a free dyndns.com account (example.dynalias.net) I've set up in my router to update itself when my IP changes.

But now I've bought a domain from godaddy.com and I'm not really sure what I need to do.

What should I write on 'name servers' (dns)? My IP? my free dyndns account url? something else?

Do I need to edit something in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file? For example:

# ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself.
# This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify
# it explicitly to prevent problems during startup.
#
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here.
#
ServerName www.mydomain.com:80

Thanks!

You need someone to provide DNS hosting for you -- you will put the IP address of the DNS servers in here, then you configure the DNS server to act as a 'master' for your domain, and create a CNAME record that points to your DynDNS account.

Do I need to edit something in my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file? For example:

You shouldn't need to, no.
