The following FAQ is verbatim from https://app.ens.domains/faq
What is a Primary ENS Name record?
A Primary ENS Name record (formerly Reverse Record) makes your Ethereum address point to an ENS name. This allows dapps to find and display your ENS name when you connect to them with your Ethereum account. This can only be set by you so it is not set automatically upon registration.
To set the Primary ENS Name record, please click "My account", and select "Primary ENS Name".
What is a Resolver?
A Resolver is a smart contract that holds records. Names are set by default to the Public Resolver managed by the ENS team and has all the standard ENS record types. You can set your Resolver to a custom resolver contract if you'd like.
Can I use an ENS name to point to my website?
Though ENS can technically store anything, there aren't many third party tools and applications which resolve IP addresses attached to ENS.
Instead, we suggest hosting your static html/css/images on IPFS and put the hash in your ENS name's Content record. Then it can be resolved by ENS-aware browsers (e.g. Opera), browser extensions (Metamask), or any browser with ".link" or ".limo" appended to the end (e.g. matoken.eth.link or matoken.eth.limo).
If you want to redirect your ENS name to an existing website, you could write a html file containing JavaScript logic to redirect to your website, upload the file into ipfs using services like IPFS Pinata, then set the CID to your contenthash. See the source code of depositcontract.eth.limo as an example.
