DynDNS offers a service that tracks the IP address of your hostname. They offer either an application that runs on your computer, or an update client for your router that will automatically update the IP address so you can access your information.

IP Addresses don't necessarily have text addresses. http://www.ansers.com has an IP address, it is currently 216.8.179.26. You can see the IP address of any website by using the ping utility on any computer. If you want your IP address to have a text translation you could sign up for a service like DynDns. DynDns is a free service and can be found at dyndns.org. The format you are used to seeing IP addresses in, such as 192.168.1.100, has a binary equivilant. Really, the only reason we use the decimal version is because it is easier to read and remember. 192.168.1.100 would be 11000000.10101000.00000001.11001000 in binary.

Servers are used to store webpages. A server does not necessarily need to be a "special computer", either. I have a computer at home that is always on (used as a TIVO box). This same computer provides a webpage. The trick is you "need" a static IP to run a web page - something you typically won't get without a T1 (minimum). You can use a service like dyndns to provide a pointer to your computer to get around this.

A static IP is simply an IP that will not change. If you have a webpage, you want people to be able to get to it; if your IP is constantly subject to change, there's no guaruntee anyone can find you.
