You might consider using the services of a "Dynamic DNS" (DDNS) service
provider. I've had very good experiences with dyndns.org.
As you no doubt know, it is commonplace to represent a numeric IP address
like, say 204.242.227.130, with a symbolic name like "RicoNet.homedns.org".
Using DDNS, you can give your router a permanent, unchanging "Domain Name
Address" that will be of that general format and that will remain constant
even if your ISP changes the dynamic, numeric IP address that they assign to
you. There are several DDNS service providers that offer free Dynamic DNS
name facilities for small operations. Yours sounds like it would qualify.
