How to connect my IP to domain?

I have my own server which work through apache.

I owned static IP from local provider, so I want to connect it to my domain which I already owned.

but I don't know how, cause my domain provider ask DNS of my server, but I don't have one!

So how can I get one to connect my IP address to domain?

    1) Point domain name to DNS provider like http://dns.he.net/ (free)

    2) Add A record for domain or subdomains to the IPs you want

    That's really all you need to do.

    Some (most?) domain registrars also provide DNS, so you just enter the ip address on their site.

    Otherwise you need usually two DNS servers. You can put one DNS server on the device itself and statically enter the numeric address of that in the authority record for your domain, so that it acts as its own DNS server. Sounds crazy but it works. E.g.

    want to find www.example.com

    ask .com root server for authority record for example.com

    get 1.2.3.4

    ask 1.2.3.4 what's DNS for example.com

    get 1.2.3.4

    ask 1.2.3.4 what's www.example.com

    get 1.2.3.4
