Two solutions for you:

1 - Get a STATIC IP. It's cheap.

2 - DYNDNS will resolve this issue. But you need to know how to use it. You can even have your router update the DYNDNS IP automatically.

Also, make sure you get a service like POSTINI, which can filter and SPOOL your emails in case the server "seems" down because the IP change. This way you don't lose any email. And people sending emails to your domain don't get bounced emails.
