elastic-ip

This is the first time I am doing this, so noob alert. I have an ec2 instance, to which I have assigned an elastic IP. I want to map this elastic IP to a webaddress foo.com, which I have bought from name.com. How do I do this?

It would be very helpful if you you increase my vocabulary, and tell me the things involved, I dont know where to begin, SO has always been helpful! This is a screenshot of my name.com CP: alt text
