You don't need bind to do that. Go to your registar's webpage, set an A record pointing at your server. – Journeyman Geek – 2014-09-06T02:00:00.583

You should have to look at this godaddy howto page

You are confusing between bind (verb - mapping your domain to your host/ip) with Bind (name of Linux DNS service). All you need is to log into domain control panel and create A record of domain that point to your server IP address. Keep in mind that "domain.com" and "www.domain.com" is 2 seperate domain, so you will need one A record for each or one A record for "domain.com" then make reference from "www.domain.com" to "domain.com" (CNAME record).

I bet that this is not familiar with you, so you should ask a technical guy do it for you.
