Well best.com will not help you that would defeat the purpose of their
business...
You have the right to change the domain info because you are the
administrative contact (either the administrative or the technical contact
can authorize changes.)
Here is a step by step list of what you will need to do.
-Set-up a dns server... You can then be the authoritative server
(primary nameserver) for your domain.
This is not a caching nameserver only you to have to add info
about your host, it's in the book :-)
-Contact someone about being a secondary host... I'm sure someone on
this list could do that for you, or clippernet for a price...
-Make your changes with internic, change your technical contact to you,
change the primary address to your static ip address and name,
and change the secondary ip and name
-Then figure out how to set up mail, web, blah, blah...
<shameless_plug>Your other alternative is to pay someone else to do all this
</shameless_plug>
Have fun :-) and ask questions
