Then when a browser types www.classicserver.net it will contact my DNS server and my DNS server will say "oh, I know the IP for that domain, here ya go" and then the browser will say "okay great, I'll go ahead and load that IP"
I have the software installed, I just don't know much about it. I don't know what name to give my DNS server and stuff like that. |
You do not need to set up a dns server for what you are looking for.
You would just need to set up nameservers to your ip address on your domain through whoever you registered the domain you have with, then for the nameservers you would set it to ns1.classicserver.net and ns2.classicserver.net or whatever
EDIT:
You would need to contact powerpipe.com (the place your domain is registered by) and ask them to set up name servers from your domain name to your ip address, then alter your nameservers from cp1.globaldns.org and cp2... to whatever they had just set up.
also:
you would have to change your serving port from 81 to 80 on your ip address, that is if your internet service provider allows you to host form there (Mine doesn't
).
