Which DNS for a home web server?

Hi guys,
I would like to use a web server for my web sites. I configured Windows Server 2003 with "host header" in order to work with a unic public IP address. Now I would like to buy a domain for my sites and let them reachable from internet.
Do I have to configure my server also as a DNS server?
Registering a second level domain on www.aruba.it leads me to choose between three options and the simplest one is the domain registration + DNS handling. If I configure my own DNS server on my server can I get rid of the aruba DNS handling?
Can I buy only the domain registration?

Thanks in advance!
Max

Max,
in the context of what you are doing, managing your own DNS server is an un-necessary overhead. I'd recommend that you use the DNS service provided by the service provider as this is the simplest way to achieve what you want.

By offering something for advertisement is not a good idea to grab user IMO
