Yes it is possible, but most cable internet providers charge extra for doing so. You want to ask them for a "static IP address".

The other option is to use a service that provides Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System). One such provider is TZO.com. This allows you to have a dynamic IP address, and TZO routes the DNS (such as www.mywebaddress.com) to whichever IP address your computer currently has. When your IP address changes a utility (which you install on your system) notifies TZO or whoever your Dynamic DNS provider is.
