Default Simple question on nameservers and DNS

Hey guys,

Sorry to bother you all. I have a simple question on nameservers and DNS. I thought this would be simple but I'm having trouble! If someon could clarify to me whats going on, I'd appreciate it heaps.

I bought two domain names from godaddy a couple of days ago and then chose webhosting.uk.com as my web hosting provider.

I went to the godaddy admin screen, and there I entered the two name servers I received in my welcome e-mail.

Entering either of the nameservers into firefox results in a nice Apache2 "It works!". So far so good. Then, I enter the my domain name. No good - looks like a DNS error (btw, I waited a while).

Having done a few searches and looks around this forum, I've seen people say that I have to add the domain to my cPanel. This is where I get lost:

I don't have cPanel and can't find which files I would have to edit. Do I have to run BIND or something on my webserver?

In the godaddy admin screen, I was able to just specify the ip for the A name record - which worked - should I just do that? whats the difference?

Also, I have (only now ) realised that cPanel may be worth the extra money but can't figure out how to add it. In the "add products and services" screen I can only add "cPanel shared hosting"...

Any help greatly appreciated!

regards,

Frederik Grunta
