Dear you appears to be Newbie.





There are many things you need to know if you want to do all yourself;


1. if you know just html, your site will be static and not dynamic, you need to learn server side coding langauge like asp, asp.net, or php.





2) if you want to use login feature and anything which requires you to store information you should know how to work with database.





3) You dont need to know about dns server. Just pay and purchase a domain name and webspace. depending upon you choice of server side coding language you will have to select to host you site on linux server or on windows server. You can contact net4india, ewebguru manakhosting etc





4) You can visit my site at www.opensourcenuts.com - which is still under developing stage.





5) You will have to work fultime on you site or you need to hire someone else you site will remain under development.





6) you will have to think ways to promote your site else it will remain in the dark corner of net.

Domain name is basically a "nickname" for your server, usually web, but could be mail, FTP, and so on.





Instead of a pure IP address, like 206.190.60.37, you can type in yahoo.com. And a browser would know where to go.





A DNS server then translates yahoo.com to the IP address, so your whatever program will know who to really talk to.





To put a website on the Internet needs three things: the domain name itself, the server actually hosting the content, and the actual content.





HTML is the content.





Got all that?





Without more details about this "free domain site", it sounds like they are giving you a free domain, but no server (the "hosting") to go with it, which is why you have to enter all that.
