If you have cPanel this is a doddle. Otherwise, your host will probably have a webmaster's area that you can login to.

You will have to edit your web server (apache, IIS, etc.) and add the entry. You will also have to add the zone in your DNS record.

VPS means Virtual Private Server. Its the closest thing you can get to a dedicated server. Normally you can get them in various flavors meaning managed, semi managed and not managed. This means that the host will take care of configuration and setup for you, but it costs a lot more.

In order to administer a server, you need base apache, bind, pure ftpd, and numerous other skills, especially if you don't have a control panel. If you have a control panel, many of the features are configured for you so that you can focus on server hardening, etc. Normally control panels like cpanel run 15 bucks a month because the license to use them are so expensive.

Is your vps xen, openvz, virtuozzo? And how much memory do you have, most control panels require a minimum of 256mb but don't run well until about 512MB of ram.
