Just the name would be good. Just the name would be DNS. Something like $ORIGIN com. foobar IN A 123.123.123.122 $ORIGIN foobar.com. www IN CNAME foobar.com. ftp IN A 123.123.123.123 in your DNS records, off the top of my head, and assuming proper SOA records. That's CERTAINLY not a newbie topic, though.
