If the server isn't responding to a ping, it seems like you didn't
configure the server's IP address properly.  This isn't a DNS problem.

Now you're talking about a web server, I presume.  This has nothing to do
with DNS.  Check your web server's documentation, looking for things like
"virtual host" and "DocumentRoot".  The folks in
comp.infosystems.www.servers.* should be able to advise you on how to
configure your specific server.
