Hello.

I would like to ask questions about DNS servers:

1) What is needed to host my own domain name at home? Do I need 2
static public ip? Or just one? If I need 2, do I need 2 dsl
connections?
2) Does it consume many resources? Is the access to my web server
faster or slower if I host my domain name in it than having others
doing it?

Resume: is hosting my domain name a good idea? Or just simply stupid?

Depends on what you want to do. Static IPs help, but you can do it with
dynamic IPs (or even just one) with a service like DynDNS.

For the DNS side, read this:
