I documented how I was able to get sipXecs working with dynamic IP addressing here: http://sipxecs.blogspot.com/2009/09/setting-up-dns-for-internet-calling. html

There are two related, but different questions: 1. Getting a static IP. 2. Getting your DNS records hosted. 1. Use a static IP address. Some ISPs promise you a static IP address. Other ISPs do not promise you a static IP address, but they give you one anyway. In either case, you use your static IP address in the appropriate DNS records. Most SIP operations do not require that your server have a static IP address, but sipXecs is not designed to track a dynamic IP address -- you need to manually enter its IP address and then generate the configuration files. 2. Getting your DNS records hosted is a service you need to get someone to do. There are a lot of options, but the easiest is to have either your ISP or the registrar of your domain name do it. For a small sipXecs system, you can use SRV records, or just have an A record (when your SIP domain is the same as the DNS name of your server).
