DynDNS offers a service that tracks the IP address of your hostname. They offer either an application that runs on your computer, or an update client for your router that will automatically update the IP address so you can access your information.

IP Addresses don't necessarily have text addresses. http://www.ansers.com has an IP address, it is currently 216.8.179.26. You can see the IP address of any website by using the ping utility on any computer. If you want your IP address to have a text translation you could sign up for a service like DynDns. DynDns is a free service and can be found at dyndns.org. The format you are used to seeing IP addresses in, such as 192.168.1.100, has a binary equivilant. Really, the only reason we use the decimal version is because it is easier to read and remember. 192.168.1.100 would be 11000000.10101000.00000001.11001000 in binary.

Servers are used to store webpages. A server does not necessarily need to be a "special computer", either. I have a computer at home that is always on (used as a TIVO box). This same computer provides a webpage. The trick is you "need" a static IP to run a web page - something you typically won't get without a T1 (minimum). You can use a service like dyndns to provide a pointer to your computer to get around this.
A static IP is simply an IP that will not change. If you have a webpage, you want people to be able to get to it; if your IP is constantly subject to change, there's no guaruntee anyone can find you.

I don't believe you can, you will need to contact your ISP.
A dynamic IP is an address that is assigned to you temporarily when you connect to the internet. For the duration of your stay it will remain the same (static) but when you disconnect and reconnect you will probably be given a different IP address. The address you had before will be given to someone else.
If you need a static IP you have to contact your ISP (Internet service provider) and ask them to asign you a static IP so you have an IP address permantly asigned to you which you can use very time you are connected.
You can not do it yourself because an IP address needs to be globally unique, you can't just pick one for yourself. It needs to be asigned to you.
For most users a static IP is undesirable. If you have a hole in your firewall and a dynamic iP then every time you disconnect and reconnect any hacker who found you on the first visit will find it much more difficult to find you again because your address will be different.
The only reason I know why you would need a static IP is if you want other users to be able to connect to your computer (ie Running a server.)
I believe you CAN DO IT , and its rather Simple use Dyndns get a Domain Name, it's all free. You can even then if you wanted to setup a Web server, but depending on who your ISP is they might block port 80 on Dynamic IP's so if your going to use Apache in the Http.conf file just change the first line that you see port 80 on, to another port such as anything above 4000 or so. Can also just setup Remote Desktop to Remote into your computer from where ever you are and access your files that way. Just make sure you use a super secure password and I mean mix it up, also if you can make it so that if you failed after 3 login's it locks the account for about 60min or so depends on what you want to set it to.
I do it this way with my web server and its works out rather nice I can run up to two Domain Names with DYNDNS and have two diff web servers running at the same time if your speed is good then it's really worth it. I know it saved me lots of times when I needed a file that was on my server at home just remote in copy to my laptop's desktop and get to work.
Peace out.

A static Ip is static - its always yours - your internet phone number if you like, a dynamic Ip is changed when you log on and is set by your ISP. If networking you need a static Ip. ISPs like AOL use dynamic Ips because they have a set number of addresses they can use and assign each user a new one as they need it, then when logged off it goes back into the "pool" to be used again when someone else logs on. Just because an Ip is dynamic does not mean its anonymous...

In the current state, there are two popular ways to setup a Minecraft Server
1) You can start up a Minecraft Server with your own computer/labtop! My response would be very long to give instructions, so I highly recommend searching on YouTube how to setup a server on your computer/labtop on your preferred version. It requires a lot of work just by itself to setup a server, let alone if you want to make it a big public server.
2) You can also do it by a company. I use my best company, but that is up to you to find out your best. Most companies take care of server setups, FTP Access, support, control panel, plugins, etc. They do cost money depending how much RAM and/or Players you need. Remember, you need to choose if you are just doing it for friends, or making it public. For players = more RAM required.
Hope I somewhat helped.
