Maybe I should be more explicit. You need domain-name services. Many 
providers don't like you to do your own hosting, so they frown at you 
manipulating their DNS. For those cases, there is Hammernode and 
Granitecanyon. 

However, Register.com allows you to use their DNS through their web 
interface, which I found more convenient than Granitecanyon.

So, you register your domain name. That record contains the info who the DNS 
are. Now you need to set the DNS to link your domain name and your IP 
address. If you want to go for a cheap registrar, look at HN and 
Granitecanyon. Register combines both (and others as well, I guess...).
