>>>You can function without static IP; Deerfield offers a service called DNS2Go, which will maintain a consistantly-resolvable DNS address for a dynamic IP connection through their DNS server.
www.deerfield.com - for the people like me who've been using it non-commercially during the beta, it's a free service; there's a nominal monthly charge for personal use, and a cost approaching that of registering a domain for a year for commercial applications (well under $100/year.)

>>Hmm.. Thanks.. I'll check into it. The static IP costs an extra $10 per month so cost-wise it looks like an even trade.
