You need a static IP address _and_ a domain name, _and_ a DNS server |
18 |
with an MX record that points to that static IP address. The static |
19 |
IP address comes from your ISP. Once you've got that, you can |
20 |
register the domain name with any registrar, and set up the DNS server |
21 |
with any DNS provider. If you've got a real, full-service ISP (do |
22 |
they exist any more?), they can probably handle all of it for you. |
