I have some public IP's from my ISP on which I am alowed to run a web server on. Right now I am just playing around and trying different things. I have some names registered (xyz.com, xyz.net, etc...) So far I installed apache and got the web site running from the public IP. My question is; what exactly do I have to do to make my website reachable from xyz.com instead of the IP ... how do I associate the two.


Also, do I have to have a DNS server running on the server?
