I've just bought a crappy domain name for a little experiment. I can't transfer it to 123reg to keep it with my other domain names, but I need to configure the DNS. 
 
Now on 123reg you get a screen like this to enter your DNS info: 
 
  
 
But for this domain I get the following boxes: 
 
Primary DNS Name 
Primary DNS IP 
Secondary DNS Name 
Secondary DNS IP 
 
I know my IP address, but I don't have a clue what the name would be. It only lets you enter in stuff like www.xxx.xx and so on. 
 
I was just wondering if anyone has configured a domain like this before and could tell me what to do. There's no support on the site

Most likely the domain name, similar to a DNS entry -  
www.domain.com 86400 IN NS ns1.hosting.com (Domain TTL Record-Type Hostname/IP) 
Could also enter the hostname that the IP address resolves to

That worked, put it www.domain.com and the IP and it's doing what it's meant to do now
