What I think is you'll have to deploy your application on "their" server from whom you purchased domain name & "space".
No, not at all. All you need is for your application to run on a machine with a "static" (unchanging) IP address of its own. For example, many cable ISPs will sell a static address for a small upcharge. If you're not paying for a static IP address, you probably don't have one, meaning your server is going to appear at different addresses over time. It might not change often, but it
will change.
Anyway, given that you pay for a static IP, you probably know what it is; otherwise, you can always ask your OS what the machine's IP address is (in the Windows "Networking" control panel, for example, or by running ifconfig on Linux.) Then in addition you can pay your ten dollars a year to GoDaddy.com or one of many other name registrars, and they ask you for the name you want to use and the static IP address of the server, and Boom! The Internet knows about your server, and
http://commonToAll goes to your machine, from anywhere.
