I have just registered a domain name (www.belfastmasters.co.uk) and want to hook it up to an IIS web server that I have set up on a Virtual Private Server. I am getting into the relms of the unknown a bit, I have set this kind of thing up before but this time I am using a different DNS provider and I think I need to set up an A-Record.

I have done this and pointed it to the correct IP, set up the IIS settings to look for the domain name and point to the right website but still I get nothing.

Could anyone clarify what the steps are to get this to work and where I may be going wrong please?

Once it is... You need to set up an A record pointing to your VPS IP address.
