ssh'ing into my home machine without a static IP address
I currently have a static ip address with Comcast. I'd like to switch to Sonic, but they don't offer static IP's in my area. I'm wondering if I would still be able to get into my machine from outside my LAN with a dynamic IP address. I've just always had a static address and am a noob, so wouldn't know how to proceed without it. I know there are a bunch of posts relating to this, but I'm pretty clueless so was hoping for a low-tech solution. Thanks for any advice.

The idea is to somehow broadcast your dynamic ip to a specific global point every time the network renews/change so that you can learn from it and ssh using that ip, so you need to setup a script (may be with cron to routinely check) on your machine behind dynamic ip to learn the ip and then send it to like your mailbox or something.

Some routers offer an option to use dynamic DNS service (e.g. Fritzbox does).
