Assuming you want a domain name for a URL (as opposed to a raw IP address), you typically buy your domain name from a registrar service. GoDaddy is one of the more popular ones. A .com address is about $15 per year. On the registrar's web site, they will have a setup page allowing you to point your domain to your poker server (using the server's static IP address). There are generally two ways to do the configuration: use the registrar's name servers (i.e., GoDaddy's name servers) and edit the "A" record so that the IP address has your IP address. Or enter the name servers (usually two of them) of your Windows server hosting provider. Then go to your Windows server hosting provider and they will have a domain name configuration page.
