If you don't like the name your ISP gives you, you might even be given a
different name every time you re-connect, you might be interested in the
ez-ipupdate package. It will automate the updating of your IP with
several free DNS services.
Register a nice name with one of these services, install ez-ipupdate,
and then make sure that your FQDN is proper (/etc/hosts is the file to
modify).

In my opinion, shareware tends to combine the worst of commercial software
(no sources) with the worst of free software (no finishing touches). I
simply do not believe in the shareware market at all.
