No, that's a dynamic IP for that price.  TPG's static IP option (business)
is a lot more ($149 per month).

Have you tried DynDNS to enable your server to work on a dynamic IP?  The
service is free for up to 5 servers and automatically updates the IP
addresses of your hostnames whenever your dynamic IP changes.  I haven't
used it yet myself but have a colleague who runs several servers on his home
dynamic IP quite successfully.
