Also check out what other services are provided by paying for it. EasyDNS provides their DNS services on top of domain registration/parking, full DNS record control, and mail backup. Mail backup is where if your mail server goes down, they'll receive email on your behalf and play them back to your mail server when it comes back up. Good for those weekend outages, maintenance/upgrades, or natural disasters.

I use that to maintain my OpenSourceVistA.net file server on a dynamic IP and it works quickly and nicely. There are free alternatives which I have not tried as this was recommended by a trusted source, and he seem to have been correct! The failures have been my ISP or my server or my power, not EasyDNS.

Unfortunately VPN hasn't proven to be a viable option, my ISP doesn't provide static IP addresses (at least not at a price I can justify). My attempts to connect via the leased IP address I get from IPCONFIG before I leave at night fails, and the next morning I find that the address has changed. I'm pleased to hear that it is possible to move the installation. The KIDS method (which I know next to nothing about) sounds interesting since it seems to allow for a trail of incremental builds that can be used to abandon failed steps. I'm not ready to do it yet but I'll ask for help when the time comes.
