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.

I posted an answer to your other question

You still need to regiester a domain for your site to be on the web.How will other people see your site if it doesnt have an address?

Not nececerally, you can connect to a site via its ip (http://127.0.0.1) 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 www.oneandone.com or a free one at www.no-ip.com (no-ip is good if you have a dynamic IP)
