You register at DynDNS, and selected a name from a list of domain names. Example: mydns.com or isa-geek.com. Make up your own prefix for it, such as mywebsite.mydns.com.
Next you download and start the little daemon that runs all the time. It checks to see what your current IP address is, and once an hour or so it sends that IP address to DynDNS, which then checks if it's different than mywebsite.mydns.com has. If it's different, it matches it back up.
So then anyone that hits mywebsite.mydns.com will get your page, whether or not your IP has changed.
IF IT DOES CHANGE there will be a short period your site is off line, until the daemon does its thing. Typically, mine doesn't change unless my system has been down & powered off, and when it comes back up the daemon works right away anyway. No worries.

Is there any script, utility, app, whatever, that allows me to find out what the current ip address of that machine is?
