You might still need to use your upstream provider as smarthost (a.k.a relayhost), but a static ip is definitely good if you want to be taken seriously.

They do both free and very cheap. I have no affiliation, I'm just a happy customer. They have just recently started doing registrar-business, I haven't tried that part, but I am happy with the rest of what they provide. > Tell me if there is something wrong in what I said! > > By the way, I think I missed something...what more do I need now to > have my server ? > Is this? : > 1) Contract a domain name > I.e. you need a registrar. > 2) Contract someone to deal internet traffic from that domain name to > my static public ip ?? > > I.e. you need a DNS-service. > Can these 2 things be done by the same company for a reasonable year > price? > Yes. Like I said, check out Zoneedit.com. Others have given you other suggestions. Shop around. At the same time, I recommend reading up on TCP-IP networking, DNS etc. It helps a lot if you understand exactly what it is you are paying for. > Does it matter if I am in Spain ?

There are probably spanish registrars/domain-resellers that will help you register .com or .net domains, but it will probably be cheaper to go with a US-based one. No matter which registrar you pick, it is technically possible for them to set SOA to a DNS-server at a completely different company. The policy of certain registrars or DNS providers might be more restrictive though. --
