Mailserver for Linux Centos

you will need access to your domain account so you can set up mx records. do you have that?

is it possible to have a Domain Server running in BIND so that we can manage our own domain name?

Currently there isn't a MX record setup for your domain:
Code:
7~$ dig ex.inet-soft.com.ph

; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6_4.6 <<>> ex.inet-soft.com.ph

My guess is you'd need to talk to your domain hoster to get one set up.
If you want to play your own DNS provider you'd need to talk to them as well. Some of them do and some don't do this kind of stuff.
