Hi there, i am pretty new to hosting websites. just bought a server with directAdmin installed. my domain name was purchased a while ago on mydomain.com. now i am having some questions linking these 2 together.
1. I assume i can setup my own name servers, is that better than using registrar's name server?
2. there are a whole bunch of forwarding options, like MX, A, CNAME, all that? should i forward everything? if i use my own name server, then i dont need to do all these forwarding settings, correct?
3. this is what i am confusing the most. so i add a domain using directAdmin, and i am clicking around and seeing a lot of setting are already using my domain. this seems like my domain name is registered here. but the domain is still at mydomain.com. how do i synchronize these 2?
please help!!! thanks in advance
