Run a sever with a dynamic IP address?

This will probably just be a simple no, but I thought I'd try...

I've been so fed up with web host I have nightmares about it. That being said I am ready to go out and buy my own web server. I'm pretty sure my home internet connection can handle it (I'm aloud 30 Mb/Sec) but the problem is I have a dynamic IP address. I called my internet provider (Time Warner Cable) and asked if I can somehow obtain a static IP. They told me I would have to upgrade to business class internet which is an extra 130 dollars a month. Not possible on my budget.

In short I was wondering if there is any way I can run my own server and stick with a dynamic IP?

Why not just get better hosting?

Running a server on your home connection is possible BUT it is tour UPLOAD speed not the download speed that counts.

There are server Dynamic DNS services about assuming that your isp does not block incoming port 80 for "home" connections.

I rather pay 5 K tomorrow for an awesome server, then 200 bucks a month for the rest of my web design career. Oh yeah, and your right about the upload speed thing. It's 4:30 in the morning where I am (Hollywood).

BTW, sorry this is off topic -- but do you think WordPress VIP sounds like a good web host? I receive A LOT of traffic.

Are we talking about a single site or hosting for clients? Because for $200 a month you should be getting a fully managed server with no restrictions on what you put on it.
