You can have your own DNS if you want, and I'll cover that in the last part of the series. But right now, we will not have our own DNS server. What we are going to do is sign up for a DNS service provider.

Remember the static IP address that your ISP gave you when you asked for it? Just below the table is the form for adding a record. Give the domain name without the www in the first field. Now let the record type be A. In the value field, give your static IP address. If it's BSNL, then it most probably starts with 59. Then commit the changes.
