How do you get domain names working?.

I've only attempted this once and never got it right either.

I want to be able to use my domain name to connect to my webserver on my linux box, I know BIND can be used for that.. but I have no idea what to do here.

I would need to setup name servers right?. Erm..

Who is providing your domain hosting?

I use fasthosts for mine, and they allow you use their nameservers for domain resolution.  All I needed to do was to find the IP address for my connection, and enter it into the control panel as the IP of my webserver.

This would be the easiest way to do it, as it saves you having to configure and manage your own nameservers.
