Use domain with VPS?

So f*ckin' noob.
This is my question: how to use my domain with my VPS?
Use it for my wordpress site using nginx, and for icecast.

Just like any other website, forward the domain to the VPS IP.
Just point it from the registrar to your vps ip. What is your registrar?
registered it with buddyhost, how many time it will take to propagate?
The domain is okamiradio.asia
Should I put an "A" record to my VPS Ip, and nothing else?
Sometimes it could tak up to 48 hours or more.
But with NameCheap, I only took less than 30 minutes ( usually just 5 minutes now)
Yes. I'm not sure how it works with buddyhost, but for name.com you just use [blank] or * for the root domain.
yes just A record of okamiradio.asia.
yes, set a A Record of your VPS IP to your domain it will work, ask your registrar if you are unsure
Well, thank you guys, I'll wait until tonight. Already put the A record
you can edit your hosts file so u can test ur site rightaway
You might also want to add a CNAME that points www.okamiradio.asia to okamiradio.asia
it dose much faster at times 30 minutes should do. ) use @jcaleb's advice and edit your host file so you can view your site:)
I'm using cloudflare as dns usually propagate within a minute.
What about if I have 2 websites using ip A of vps and the 3rd website I use ip B?
How do I set that up?
Point first 2 website to ip A and point third website to ip B.
Use A record.
You haven't set name servers yet on your registrar.
@budingyun : I mean on apache. Do I have to run 2 instances of httpd?
Name based Virtual hosts
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
@telephone : named based is only for multiple websites on same ip. My tearoom was can I mix namebased and ipbased vhosts on 1 httpd daemon.
Use nginx + php-fpm, easier to setup for me.
Cloudflare says: okamiradio.asia is not a registered domain. Wtf?
At Dns setup what should i put if cloudflare isnt working?
ping okamiradio.asia
Ping request could not find host okamiradio.asia. Please check the name and try again.
maybe cloudflare doesnt support .asia tld...
