DNS Information

I am trying to figure out my dns information because I need it to have
my domain redirected to my server. How do I do this? Thanks. Email

I'm not quite sure what DNS info you mean. If you want your current
DNS, log into the registrar site that you have the domain parked or
registered with and see what is listed for primary or secondary DNS
(basically a "whois").

However, if you are wanting to change the current settings so that
they resolve to your server because you wish to host your domain
yourself, if you are not running your own DNS server (which you could
but it is resource intensive, among other things -- see
http://www.diywebserver.com/dns.php) you can take advantage of many of
the free DNS providers: http://www.dyndns.org/,
http://www.zoneedit.com/ or http://www.no-ip.com/ are some of the more
popular free ones; for more on free DNS provider lists see
http://www.a2z-free.com/dns.php; and DNS itself:
