I received an email from Fiach Reid who has built a python script which allows you to point a domain that's registered with NameCheap to a dynamic IP address.
This ultimately means that you don't need to go down the potentially pricey option of ordering a static IP address from your broadband provider. Here's his video:
Fiach has demonstrated on his own RPi hosted site (ServedWithPi) his Python script interacting with the NameCheap API to update his A records to match his dynamic IP address.
His website, Network Programming in .Net has more on this, and has a wealth of tutorials in CSS, .Net, BlackBerry development, as well as other Raspberry Pi related content.
