All you need to do when you get a new IP from your ISP is to redirect the static DNS to your new IP.
I stand corrected about that then...plasma dragon007 said:http://www.no-ip.com/
free and I've been using it for my mc server and my vent server for a few years now. Every 3 months (I think) they email you asking if you're still using the domain. If you don't click the link to re-register it within 2 weeks they deactivate the domain, though you could probably just register it back on your own. If you pay, you get the domain for the duration of your payment, plus some other things like a range of email addresses and some other stuff. (I just use the free one).
Can run it as a startup program or install it as a service. Better to install it as a service.
(You want the No-IP Free link aat the bottom left of the main page.)

The reason I don't use something like that is because I'm running my server off a command-line Linux box.
