Create a dyndns entry for your server.  Use a
dynamic dns service such
as http://www.dyndns.org/ or one of the others you
mention (don't know
how they work, dyndns are good in my experience).

Install/configure dynamic dns software client on
your server to update
your dyndns entry with the dyndns.org site
whenever you reboot.  In this
way your users can always access your site using a
fqdn regardless of
your IP address.

There are complete guides at the dyndns.org site,
although you sound
like you know what you're doing so hopefully this
makes some sense to
you.
