Have you tried a web search for "dyndns"? There are a lot of providers, even free ones.
If you have already have a rented domain it might be possible there, too.

Nelsona does this so wait for him to respond. It works just fine if it is setup correctly.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

Re: Setting up a DNS to the server?
Several months ago was a kind of crappy war between M$ and NO-IP. Some people using home applications found themselves in troubles being unable to control their devices (CCTV, Alarm systems, ect) based on an unashamed sabotage delivered by M$ and "geniuses" resident there.
Because I found myself in troubles, I have switched to another Free Dns service made by some bright good guys - D u c k D n s. Name might be funny (no spaces) but it was working like a charm and host-name gets propagated fast as lightning.
there are 2 simple things to solve - one of them has to be chosen:
- Your machine will have installed an application delivering DNS info from time to time;
- You will set a scheduled task which will do a http call with your token-key to that address in purpose to locate your IP and give it a host-name that will be accessed on Internet (this is my way - each 10 minutes machine is pumping token key when is Started).
These are explained in detail right at their location + Linux support and other OS types.
Cons:
I did not figure yet IPV6 support which I can use even on XP, but I can access my location using a direct IPV6 call - at least I have a semi-static IP, more exactly is changing rarely but it's changing depending on ISP service, maintenance, checks on Internet, ect.
Edit: Note
That host-name can be used even in UT and it helps saving server in favorites list.
