I would recommend Apache (Or LightSpeed?) is you ever see long-term prospects
for the site and wish to keep stability up and costs low. Do not lock

I am aware of Web services that handle DNS and thus point to your computer
given requests for a domain you own. I imagine that they only work for fixed
(static) addresses. Contacting your ISP and requesting a fixed address (even
for a cost) is worthwhile. Reserving an address for you if often a
possibility, technically speaking.
Hope it helps,
Roy
