There are free services that will take your dynamic ip and make it "static"
in order to run services at your dynamic ip. However, looks like
speakeasy.net is your ISP and they can charge what they want. My web host
provider changed the mx record of my domain for free and my dynamic ip is
"static" via www.no-ip.com which was also free (but I paid for their mail
forwarding feature that saves my mail if and when my server is down).

Check out www.easydns.com
I just signed up a domain with them and have been very impressed. I am going
to recommend them to all my SBS or Exchange Server clients.

www.changeip.com is another company --

I would recommend getting some feedback first on whichever dynamic dns you
choose -- some are here today/gone tomorrow.  Some have a good track record.
Check for flexibility in maintaining multiple accounts, if you have multiple
customers.  Be sure that their tech support is responsive.

And, as others have pointed out, look for the additional services or
features that such a company can offer!

You know ... all the usuall stuff!

You have a static IP for sure?  Then yeah creating an MX record should be
free, but only if speakeasy says it's free...they can charge for whatever
they want!

http://www.mydns.com - best thing since sliced bread.  Been using it for a
couple years.
