There are various free services which will associate your current IP
address with a URL automatically thus allowing IP address to change
"invisibly".
PC runs a small task which checks IP address occasionally and "phones
home" if needed.

This meets the letter and may or may not meet the spirit of ISP
requirements to use a dynamic IP address.
Works well.
