| Just point the domain-name to your servers IP-adress, using an "A"-record. |

| Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "A"-record. |

First you'll need to assign the domain a Domain Name Server.
Once you've done that you can add records for the domain on the domain name server, one of the types is called an "A Record", you'll need to add one of these with the value of the server IP.
