No, I'm talking about hosting the DNS, that is, the DNS server, not the IP the DNS record points to. When you buy a DNS record you need a nameserver with a static IP to handle the DNS record. Then you can assign this record to dynamic IPs if you like. Technically the nameserver could also work on a dynamic IP, but practically this doesnt work out in this order.

Even blah.com depends on com and com depends on . (aka dot)

DNS being hierarchical, you never actually own the thing =/

There are decentralized DNS attempts tho
