Your steps are :

1) Either you or Paradise has to register your domain, itexperienced.co.nz
with Domainz (and part with some cash).
2) As part of this registration, you will need to delegate authority for
your domain to an authoritative name server - either yours or Paradise.
3) For your linux DNS to be the authoritative DNS for your domain, it will
need a static registered IP address. See Paradise to see if they will issue
you one. (FYI Telecom charge $26/month for this)
4) Create host and PTR records in your DNS for www.itexperienced.co.nz
5) A good idea would be to see if you can delegate Paradise's nameserver as
a secondary for your zone.

None of this is actually necessary though if all you want is a webserver
visible via your connection on a given URL.

There are a number of services out there on the web that will let people
with non-static IP addresses register on their site and provide a dynamic
DNS service.

You wouldn't be able to use www.itexperienced.co.nz though...it'd be a
prefix on their domain name...eg www.itexperienced.xyz.com
