Use NO-IP or contact your host for domain IP.

Toxik, when you try to connect to a server using a "URL" (Which is not really an URL, but a DOMAIN pointed to a certain hostname/server/IP address), you're not really connecting to some kind of special server, but as I just said, you're connecting to some kind of pointer.
Basically, there's no SA:MP settings you have to change, however, your server must have the hostname (Name of your domain) set up.
The best thing is to go to your domain management panel, and add something called an "A Record", and point @ to your server's IP address.

Go to your domain's host records/DNS settings and set up an A record for server.mydomain.com (or replace "server" with whatever you want it to be) and point it to your server's IP address. If you don't know how to do this, tell us which company your domain is registered through and we can try to be more specific.
