you can assign an IP to a domain like rajesh.com it is perfectly legal. The
usual practice is to assign the Web server IP to the domain such that 
http://domainname will take you to the website ie one does not have to use
the www.domainname address.  you can  have a hostname on a box without
a domain name especially if you are standalone it does not matter. If you have
a network you are better of using hostname.domainname.
