i have this dedicated server all by myself.. im the only allowed root access.
I see the domain I told them to add in /home/domains

With no control panel, do you have access to the config files? I'm assuming you're using apache.

with root access you have access to every single file in the server!

1. Point the domains to the server (DNS)
2. Handle the requests (Apache, most likely)
If you want to add domains to a hosting company you use, you'll have to work with them to put it all together. If you're controlling the server, you'll probably want to add virtual server directives to the httpd.conf file and have a separate directory for each domain.
DNS and hosting are separate, you can have the domains hosted somewhere and the site hosted elsewhere, but it's often easiest to have them in the same place.
