Using Mac as Webserver

I am using an old iMac G3 as a webserver currently. It works fine and I am able to access the site and I recently got a domain name so that I would not have to type in the IP address to get to my site. However, I cannot figure out how to attach my domain name to my iMac webserver. In other words, how do I get my site to come up when I type in my domain name?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I assume you already have the 'personal web sharing' aka apache turned on. To get your domain pointing to your static IP address, the easiest way it to use your domain registrar's DNS service. If you have full access over your domain you'd log in and under the DNS settings enter your static IP. You may not have access to the control panel to make the change yourself so you might have to contact your registrar to do it for you. Depending they may not do it, in that you can use somewhere like: http://www.dyndns.com
 
I registered my domain name with GoDaddy.com and do not see anything for DNS settings. Where should I go to find this?
