How to Set Up Linux Apache Server
Chapter 7: Register and Configure DNS of a Domain
In order that people can find your website, you need to register a domain.
After you registered a domain, you need to configure the records (zone files) of your domain
so that the domain can point to your server.
Since we are only set up a webserver in this tutorial, you only need to configure the 'A'
record of your domain.
For example, if the domain name and IP address are:
Domain Name: YourDomain.com
IP Address of WAN: xxx.xxx.xx.x
The configuration of your domain should be:
YourDomain.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xx.x
www.YourDomain.com. IN A xxx.xxx.xx.x
Now, when people type your domain name in the url of browser, the browser will run
to your webserver and display the webpages.
NOTE:
- We will discuss the IP Address of WAN in the next few chapters.
Chapter 17 will show you how to get the WAN IP address.
- Please check our tutorial for DNS setting if you don't know what is a 'A' record
