Domains, nameserver, and hosts?!

First off I want to thank everyone for the help so far you all have been MORE then helpful!

Now I am having trouble trying to figure out how all this fits togeather. I know that to host a site you need nameservers so that DNS can resolve domain>ip.
If I am running the server where can I get a nameserver?
Can the web server be one of name servers?
I know you need two for a domain where can I get another/two nameserver(s)?
If the server hosting the site is the nameserver how do I configure it as such? (CentOS)
I am assuming I need BIND?
Where do I name the server? (file?)
How will it be named? xx.xx.com?
Does anyone know a good book/resource that I can read about how all this fits togeather?

My schooling was on Windows (MCSE) its pretty exausting learning linux but I am slowly getting it. All the books I find teach stuff using KDS or gnome I have yet to find one that teaches everything in pure command line any suggestions?

Thanks!
