There are "Dynamic DNS" services with a small daemon you install on your server that continuously update the DNS address so it remains online even if your ISP changes your IP on you.

btw this can be done with a 'proper' domain name too (e.g. at namecheap)
yep, I've done this before with a handy tool called ddclient, although there are other tools out there.
Isn't there a small time window during which your site is unaccessible due to DNS propagation time?
