Domain Name
I have recently purchased a domain name. I am currently using it for a website hosted with a different provider. I would like to change the server IP to game.xxxxxxxx.com. Would this interfere with navigation to my website? Also I have read many tutorials about pointing domains and such, but I am unable to figure out how I would first create, and then point the "game" part of game.xxxxxxx.com to the ip address for the server. Could you help walk me through or provide a tutorial for this, as long as it will not interfere with the current operation of my offsite website.

We have a guide on this here;

However that is for our webhosting control panel. The set up should be pretty much the same though.
Create a subdomain for the type of server such as gameserver.xxx.com or vent.xx.com. Then open up your DNS zone editor and enter the IP where you want it to point.

Re: Domain Name
Ok, one last question. Do I need to input anything into the add a domain section? or does adding the subdomain and pointing my dns take care of everything? Also, this will not interfere with my website operation correct? I'm a complete newb when it comes to websites

Simply adding a subdomain and pointing that subdomain to the IP of your server should do it. It shouldn't interfere with your website, no.

Re: Domain Name
What's the difference between register a domain and buy/sell a domain? I know there are people out there buying and selling domains. I also want to pick my own domain but all I can find is domain registration. Does that mean I don't own it so I can't sell it? How can I own a domain so that I can put it on auction?
