If your registrar has DNS, you just need to create an A Record in your DNS entries for your domain. This A record would point to your static IP address. Consult your registrar documentation on how to do this.

If it is not the case, you will have to setup a nameserver, or have to use a 3 a DNS service like dnsexit
