Bind9 DNS server setup

I have been trying to set up a dns server for the past week and I am unable to figure this out completely.

I don't really understand what zones do, reverse zones, root, etc etc..

I have googled and found a few guides on how to setup but I really need a guide or something that explains it to me like I am stupid.

Does anyone know of a guide or is willing to help me out with this?

The reason behind this is to learn how to, and because I have a dynamic ip hosting my minecraft server, I want to be able to use my domain name and with other services like no-ip and others, I have to use domains like mydomain.no-ip.net which is not my domain name. If there is a simpler way I would love to hear it, but like I said, I don't understand this stuff enough at the moment.

I will be continuing to read about this and if I figure it out on my own, ill update this thread.

I appreciate all feedback.
