Hi Nakia, you only would need a domain name if you want to make your „server“ accessible from the internet. And even then you do not need a domain. If you have a static ip from your isp you could use these ip address to connect to the server. Or if you have a dynamic ip address from your isp you could use a free dynamic dns service where you let your server automatically update that ip every time you get a new one from your isp.
