yes and no...
it depends on what you want to "DO" with your server.
If private use, no.
If want to use on "the web", yes.

Not nececerally, you can connect to a site via its ip ([url]http://127.0.0.1[/url]) etc but if you want to have a domain so people dont have to remember your IP then you can get very cheap ones at [url]www.oneandone.com[/url] or a free one at [url]www.no-ip.com[/url] (no-ip is good if you have a dynamic IP)
