You can have a domain on dynamic IPs. That how you can use a service like DynDNS, with a client like ddns (IIRC), to have a domain name associated with your dynamic IP. So, for example, you can have foobar.homunix.com and have it point to your machine. Now, DynDNS has to host the DNS for you since you have dynamic IPs. But they only charge you if you want your own second-level domain (i.e., something under .org, .net, .com, .cc and so on). If you choose a hostname in one of their zones, they will do it for free for up to five host names.
