Being more specific:
I bought the top level domain name from http://www.gandi.net; they offer what
they call parking, which is what I explained earlier: they leave the
top level domain name and redirect any services to the ip that you
request.
See

I think that using (4.4 in link) Customized DNS I will be in better
shape, but I will have to study more about DNS.
I have used redirection by Gandi before, then used a hosting company,
and now I am thinking about hosting it myself. It is anyway a family
site, so there is no need for 100% uptime and so forth. Email could be
redirected to ISP provider account, etc.
This is as far as my planning has gone.
Thanks for the help.
