Another useful stopgap is the dynamic DNS providers, such as dyndns.org, which give you a third-level domain and convenient tools for updating your information. They're oriented towards the dial/dsl/cablemodem users who want to run web sites and other servers from machines that have dynamic IP addresses - your machine keeps them updated with your current address, so people who connect to yourmachine.theirservice.net get to wherever you are now.
