There are dynamic dns services that can solve this problem for you. Some of them are even supported directly by some routers, so you might want to check your router configuration, and see if it has built-in support for any of the dynamic dns services, and use that one, so you don't have to do anything at all, just set your dns to point to the dynamic dns servers, and the ips will change automatically when your ip does. I've used a couple such services in the past, and they've all worked fairly well. I can't use one now, because somehow, my isp blocks incoming traffic to server ports, regardless of what I set them to. <shrug> Might save you a whole lot of work and likely to be cheaper than a vpn as well.
But running things from your ISP do you not have speed issues (connection speed, especially Upload)?
There was a time where I was going to host my own websites from my home, but the ISP upload speeds are pathetic, unless you pay $1000 or more for a fast connection every month.
For websites with 10 visitors a day it might suffice... but then if those 10 visitors download a 5mb file even, it's super slow for them...
Maybe ISP upload speeds are better in your country, I don't know, but IMO upload speeds are still too pathetic and slow for hosing stuff from your own router/server setup from home/work. Unless you have $1000's for a fast connection (they used to call them T1? I'm unfamiliar with what it's called now).
Some ISP's have business services, but they again are pretty expensive and/or geared toward tiny little businesses, from what I researched years ago. Not for any website with serious traffic...
Then again if you only have say 5-100 clients and they use your site occasionally it could work... but as soon as someone downloads a 100MB file on your little home/work router/server setup, the server bogs down?
