Thanks Mike!

Suppose I choose to forgo running a name server and use some dynamic name
services, then can I have subdomains like www or www2 etc ?  

Also, I want to have receive mail for rakhesh@mydomain.com,
ratish@mydomain.com etc, but don't want any ISP imposed limits (like space
etc), is the only way I can do that be by running my own mail server,
or is there something else ?  And if I am running my own mail server, and
have a dynamic IP (say, I use DSL), then can I use dynamic name services
for my purpose (to keep changing the MX records as well) ?

I'm not quite clear on all these matters ...
