Greetings,
I’m using CentOS 7.x I would like to setup a web server to serve up some web pages.

I’m trying to setup DNS and the ‘named.conf’ file and the destro CentOS provides such a file but it sort of looks like it would be a sample and the user has to add all sorts of personalized content to it in order to make it work properly.

I have been looking at the sample in the ‘serverworld.com’ web site but there are a number of questions which I have questions about.

I would like to know if anyone could direct me to an example of a good ‘named.conf’ file which is more complete.

I had been thinking of backing up the current ‘named.conf’ file and copying in the one in serverworld .com and trying to make that one work. Lots of samples that I have look at aren’t well annotated and hard to understand.

Thanks

One can read books about how to set up a name server. Suggest searching more.
Have you looked at man bind and (I think) man named.conf?

Have you registered a domain name? DNS is about resolving domain names to IP addresses. If you don't have a domain name, you don't need DNS. If you have a domain name, see if your registrar provides a DNS service, then you won't need to configure one.

That said, in my experience, working with the distributed named.conf (and yes...back it up, always, before making any changes), and a good tutorial (mine was the O'Reilly book "DNS and BIND", I'm not sure if all that's available on line, but it or its equivalent probably is) will serve you better to learn BIND/DNS than an "example" named.conf. Just

In particular, look at how to define a zone and what needs to be defined within it...and don't hesitate to ask specifics if/when you get stuck.
