I do the same.  My IP address has changed once since I started the service
back in September.  The only reason it changed was because I had my DHCP
client send a different client ID, for the expressed purpose of getting a
new IP.  I had a lot of random requests coming in to my old IP from all over
the net :P.

I use the dynamic DNS service provided by http://www.dyndns.org.  There are
lots of other similar, free services out there.

I haven't had any problems running a web, SSH and FTP server.
