It's quite obvious you're new to DNS and domain names.


In order to setup the services you mention, you need a minimum of 2
(ideally different) dns servers which the rest of the internet query to
see the Ip no of the computer you store your email on, etc


I would reccommend you read the DNS HOWTO [1], if you are interested in
learning about such things.


However, I suspect you just want to setup a domain, in which case you
should see if the registrat you are thinking of using will do the DNS
for you for free (some of them do). Otherwise, there are some cheap DNS
providers [2] out there as well *.

* I've never used any of them, so YMMV...
