You have to get a free account from a Dynamic DNS service provider like www.dyndns.com .You will get a hostname like example.selfip.com or example.homeip.net, etc. Next you need to install an update client - there is one called ddclient in the ubuntu repo. It checks your external IP and updates DynDNS' records so that example.selfip.com always resolves to your IP address. Now in the control panel for your domain, you have to add a CNAME record. Suppose you have registered the domain example.com. Then you need to CNAME www.example.com to example.selfip.com. The purpose of CNAME record is, that www.example.com will now resolve to the IP address of example.selfip.com ,i.e. your IP.
