    Hi,

    your notes are very simple and easy to understand. I have just purchased a domain name, would it be possible for you to do a small tutorial on how to assign an IP address?

    Regards & Thanks,

    Amber

    Hi ya
    Glad I was able to help you .However .

    Could you please explain little bit more about what you meant by domain name instead of IP ?

    When you buy a domain name. You will have to create a host record. You will be able to do this from your domain control panel .

    after creating the host record, then you will have to configure Bind
    for that domain.

    Regards
