Interesting. Rogers @Home up here makes no mention of setting up Web servers at all. In the section on "Security" they specifically note that unless precautions are taken users may gain access to your computer via FTP or HTTP.
Locally our IP addresses are what Rogers calls "pseudo-static" i.e. theoretically changeable by Rogers but in practice never changed (up to 2+ years for some users).
