Another Apache Home Server Domain name problem!

[chan93lx50]

I have my web server set up and I am able to access it by using My IP address, but I would like to use my domain name Example(www.myname.com) instead.

I have my domain name registered with Godaddy.com and its parked at there parking nameserver, The only thing I can change is the nameserver. I was expecting they would ask for my IP address and point my domain name to that, I am a beginner at this so I am getting confused

Do I need to set my IP address up with a DNS or can I do that with my server at home?

Do I need Godaddy.com to release my Domain name from their parked spot and do something on my end with my server????

Sheesh somebody needs to straighten me out I am confused

Again all I want is my Domain name to connect to my IP address.

Thanks in advance
Channon

You can't point your domain to your computer's IP address at the registar. You can only point it to a nameserver. If you have a fixed IP address, contact your ISP and see if they can make an entry in their nameservers for you. If you have a dynamic IP address, you will have to use will have to use someone like DynDNS as your nameserver.

You should be aware though that having running a webserver runs against the AUP of most ISP's and they can cancel your account.
