@       IN      SOA     @ root.localhost (

is the "root.localhost" part where you would you replace that with the 
name of the DNS server?

correct, you should replace it with the authoritative name server.  You 
define it's real ip address down in the zone file like you have here below.

and then there's a

; servers
atlas   IN      A       192.168.1.255
www     CNAME   atlas
is the "atlas" part the name of the server your hosting? and does the 
"www" "CNAME" and "atlas" part is  the www the extention for the 
beginning like in www.bob.net or talk.whatever.org?

right, so atlas.domainName.com would resolve to 192.168.1.255(which is a 
broadcast address, so you should not use), as well as, www.domainName.com
