I'm not sure i follow...
If you are developing locally then the address would be like:
87.55.120.98:8888/foldername/index.php or similar. All that is normal
If you want the user to just be able to type lux2.com or similar then you need a registered domain name, properly configured DNSes and .htaccess. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

Normally you don't have to worry about this if you are developing on localhost and then transfer the site to the webhost. You need to set-up the name-server stuff properly. Some quick info can be found here:

(CPanel have some really good tutorials)
How to migrate and re-direct an old site url to a new one:

It's a bit tricky to answer your question because there are several tricks and solutions to your question but:
1. You register the domain name at some certified partner that has at least 2 or 3 active name servers & DNSSec. Pretty much every registrar have this so you don't have to worry.
2. You can skip this part but it's still a good idea to have this enabled:
"Registry Lock is an effective preventive service that contributes towards increasing the security of your domains. Through Registry Lock your domain name is protected against being transferred, changed or removed by an unauthorised party. Choosing Registry Lock for the domains critical to your business means further safeguarding your intangible assets and minimising the risk of you losing them." (Source: domaininfo.com)
3. If you have the same webhost and registrar you usually get some kind of tool so that you can handle your domains and DNS servers by yourself. If you have different registrars and webhosts you should contact the people that have accessto the DNS records and re-directs.
I registered my domains company 1 and company 2 (webhost) asked me if they should assign my domains to their DNS servers so that they could take care of everything that was related to hosting and domains so i let them do that so that i only had to deal with one company when changing domain-related stuff
Company 2 only takes care of the billing of the domains. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.
