Well, you do have to have some method for getting people to remember where to find that web presence!
Are you asking because you’re thinking of putting up a site under someone else’s domain name? Or using a MySpace page in lieu of your own domain name? If so, no, you don’t have to have a domain name. What matters more is that you have good content on the page that will make people want to link to it, and thus will make it easier to find with a search engine.
However, to have total control over the feel, content, and reliability of your web presence, then you really do need a domain name of your own.

I`m sure it helps. what if Yahoo was called whipee, or Dell was called dull? What if Madonna was called Maude ? Get a catchy name, get a following of loyal patrons (assuming you give them a good product).
No but domain names are much easier to remember than ip addresses. I mean which is easier, http://216.74.180.189 or http://www.hotmail.com?
