Well, once your domain is registered (for example, mine), you can either


  1. give your registrar the IP address they should point the domain to.
      This is easiest with static IP address assignments from your ISP, 
      but there's no reason you couldn't do it on a dynamic IP

  OR

  2. Use a dynamic DNS provider (e.g. dyndns, no-ip, afraid, many
      others), and have them automatically update the DNS registration
      when your IP address changes.  

Note that for option 2, you tell your registrar to use those other
nameservers, rather than their own.

I use option 2 myself, registered via ... oh I think 1&1 ... but using
no-ip to provide my dyndns (although the IP hasn't changed in well over
a year - I still don't want to be caught unawares :) )
