Most of the 'Get started' type of help files begin by advising setting up a static DNS for the server. That makes it easier, apparently, on each restart. Now I thought that the idea with a server was to leave it on more or less permanently. So any restarts should be very rare.
I think they mean give it a static ip address or map the name of the server to an ip address so you can find it again. If it was a dynamic address then it's ip address could change and you would have to look up the ip address again and make changes all the time.
