So I just bought a domain name (www.dittohost.com) now...

Do I need to setup a DNS server for the domain name if I don't want it to go through registerfly.com which will slow things down a bit.

My web server is an NT box running windows nt terminal server edtion 4.0. This will soon be upgraded to windows 2000 server once I get my new pc. I will use the other one as a backup.

Your hosting your site in your own server? Yes you need to set up the DNS :D

I did setup DNS on my computer. Using microsfot dns server. I'll just have to wait a day or so and see if it works.
