I use Google for Domains to manage my personal domain burdis.org and I thought it might be useful to someone if I explained how I set things up.  At the end are some references I found useful during the process:

1) Get yourself a personal Google account, if you don't already have one. 

2) Register your domain.  I used godaddy.com, but any registrar that allows you to manage the DNS configuration for your domain will do.
