New Server, First Time DNS Setup

Just about to take control of my very own dedicated server, along with WHM / cPanel.

Normally, I would have someone setup the DNS for me, but this is my first time at doing everything on my own

I am aware i need to enter my primary and secondary DNS in WHM Sever Setup page, along with a host name for the server. Is this all i need to do?

I see lots of people mention Zone Templates and a config file alot, do i need to edit some of these as well?

Regards
Craig
