Since you're using an admin panel on your server it would be best to go with that and let it create the stuff for you. (if you manually go change things there is a big chance as soon your admin panel notices it .. it will change it back to what it thinks it should be).

As far with DNS records .. when you register a domain by a registar you going to set name servers given by your host. (well most of the time).

examaple.

Nameserver1.yourhost.com
Nameserver2.yourhost.com

in the end that results when I type in your domain in my browser I get redirected to your host name servers and they send me to your server (IP)

so if you create a sub domain it would be best to have it in your DNS even if it points to the same IP

(maybe in a far far future, your subdomain would get so much traffic you want to run from a differnt server then your main site .. in that case you only have to change the ip in your dns records and you're done.)

Lots of people have static . domain . com ... to host their images / videos from that often points to a diffent cheaper server with just lots of bandwidth. (thats just set in the DNS to point to what-ever server they use for that)
