I use this - http://www.dyndns.org/services/dyndns/
It's a free service, but you have to use one of their domain names. You
also run a client program that will update their service when your IP
changes. That way, you can connect to your machine via hostname, without
having to remember the ever changing IP address. This allows me to ssh
in from work to my home machine (PuTTY rules), and check my mail, etc.
