Thank you for the response. I had not answered earlier because I was
waiting for the results to be propagated. It doesn't seem to have
worked. I changed it to:

*********************************************

$TTL 604800

nicoaragon.com. IN SOA www.nicoaragon.com. root.nicoaragon.com. (
   2007031002
   28800
   3600
   604800
   38400
)

nicoaragon.com. IN NS www.nicoaragon.com.
nicoaragon.com. IN A 46.105.24.194
nicoaragon.com. IN MX 10 www.nicoaragon.com.

www IN A 46.105.24.194

*********************************************

>From the VPS the dig query works both for www.nicoaragon.com and
nicoaragon.com alone. But from here it only works for
www.nicoaragon.com. Worse: from my phone neither work. I suspect
there's another external configuration at fault. The registrar's form
won't let me specify the VPS as the first DNS server. It changes the
order so the hosting provider's DNS server is put in the first place
and the VPS the second.

I also changed the MX record to remove the "www.", but I guess I'll
know the results once I install the mail server.

It seems that I've explained myself poorly. I don't really want to
have a "www." at all. The only reason I put it there was because all
the examples came with machine names and I was afraid to remove it
completely, ignoring the syntax.
