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.

Perhaps I've misunderstood the OPs questions but if he means hosting his
own domain within the public address space (.org, .com etc.) then he
will need publicly accessible static IPs.
